Constructor Detail

### SpanNotQuery

    public SpanNotQuery(SpanQuery include,
                        SpanQuery exclude)

  Construct a SpanNotQuery matching spans from `include` which have no overlap with spans from `exclude`.

Method Detail

### getInclude

    public SpanQuery getInclude()

  Return the SpanQuery whose matches are filtered.

### getExclude

    public SpanQuery getExclude()

  Return the SpanQuery whose matches must not overlap those returned.

### getField

    public String getField()

  Description copied from class: `SpanQuery`
  Returns the name of the field matched by this query.

  Specified by:
    `getField` in class `SpanQuery`

### extractTerms

    public void extractTerms(Set<Term> terms)

  Description copied from class: `Query`
  Expert: adds all terms occurring in this query to the terms set. Only works if this query is in its `rewritten` form.

  Overrides:
    `extractTerms` in class `Query`

### toString

    public String toString(String field)

  Description copied from class: `Query`
  Prints a query to a string, with `field` assumed to be the default field and omitted.

  The representation used is one that is supposed to be readable by `QueryParser`. However, there are the following limitations:

  - If the query was created by the parser, the printed representation may not be exactly what was parsed. For example, characters that need to be escaped will be represented without the required backslash.
  - Some of the more complicated queries (e.g. span queries) don't have a representation that can be parsed by QueryParser.

  Specified by:
    `toString` in class `Query`

### clone

    public Object clone()

  Description copied from class: `Query`
  Returns a clone of this query.

  Overrides:
    `clone` in class `Query`

### getSpans

    public Spans getSpans(IndexReader reader)
                   throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `SpanQuery`
  Expert: Returns the matches for this query in an index. Used internally to search for spans.

  Specified by:
    `getSpans` in class `SpanQuery`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### rewrite

    public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
                  throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Query`
  Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries. For example, a PrefixQuery will be rewritten into a BooleanQuery that consists of TermQuerys.

  Overrides:
    `rewrite` in class `Query`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Returns true iff `o` is equal to this.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Query`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Query`
