Constructor Detail

### SpanRegexQuery

    public SpanRegexQuery(Term term)

Method Detail

### getTerm

    public Term getTerm()

### 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`

### 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`

### 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()

  Description copied from class: `SpanQuery`
  Returns a collection of all terms matched by this query.

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

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### 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`

### setRegexImplementation

    public void setRegexImplementation(RegexCapabilities impl)

  Specified by:
    `setRegexImplementation` in interface `RegexQueryCapable`

### getRegexImplementation

    public RegexCapabilities getRegexImplementation()

  Specified by:
    `getRegexImplementation` in interface `RegexQueryCapable`
