Re[4]: WildcardQuery

Of course:
(please correct me if I'll become wrong finally, but hope that I have
not hallucinations :-)
// search function
void searchBooleanWildcard( HashMap terms, boolean req ) throws IOException {
System.out.println( "Boolean wildcard search:" );
HashSet entries = new HashSet( terms.entrySet() );
BooleanQuery bQuery = new BooleanQuery();
for( Iterator it = entries.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ){
Object itn = it.next();
String where = (String)((Map.Entry)itn).getKey();
String what = (String)((Map.Entry)itn).getValue();
WildcardQuery wQuery = new WildcardQuery( new Term( where, what ) );
//System.out.println( "Add to query: [" + where + ", " + what + "]" );
bQuery.add( wQuery, req, false );
}
System.out.println( "built query: " + bQuery.toString( "body" ) );
Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher( rdir );
this.showHits( searcher.search( bQuery ) );
}
// used at the end of the function above
private void showHits( Hits hits ) throws IOException {
for( int i=0; i<hits.length(); i++ ){
System.out.println( hits.doc( i ).get( "path" ) + ":"
+ hits.doc( i ).get( "body" ) + "; Score: " + hits.score( i ) );
};
System.out.println( "" );
}
Please do not forget that HashMap can't contain more then one values
with the same key. So the function searchBooleanWildcard(HashMap hmap) can
combine search request only for different field names. (Hope that this
explaination is quite clear).
For example if we built search directories from 3 type of fields:
["body", "..."], ["path", "..."], ["type", "..."]
we can add no more then 3 pairs to HashMap hmap.
And an example of search:
HashMap phQeryTerms = new HashMap();
phQeryTerms.put( "body", "*e*n" );
sr.searchBooleanWildcard( phQeryTerms, true );
Corresponding output:
Boolean wildcard search:
built query: +*e*n
news7:bean; Score: 1.0
news73:beeemN; Score: 0.25
news71:jEaN; Score: 0.25
Of course, when the next pairs are indexed
( path , body ):
"news7", "bean"
"news71", "jEaN"
"news72", "lion"
"news73", "beeemN"
