Field Detail

### term

    protected Term term

Constructor Detail

### SpanTermQuery

    public SpanTermQuery(Term term)

  Construct a SpanTermQuery matching the named term's spans.

Method Detail

### getTerm

    public Term getTerm()

  Return the term whose spans are matched.

### 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`

### getTerms

    public Collection getTerms()

  Deprecated. use extractTerms instead

  Returns a collection of all terms matched by this query.

  Specified by:
    `getTerms` in class `SpanQuery`
  See Also:
    `extractTerms(Set)`

### extractTerms

    public void extractTerms(Set terms)

  Description copied from class: `Query`
  Expert: adds all terms occuring 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`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Returns true iff `o` is equal to this.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hash code value for this object.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### 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`
