[lucy-user] [ANNOUNCE] LucyX::Search::NullTermQuery 0.003

[Peter Karman <pe...@peknet.com>]

LucyX::Search::NullTermQuery 0.003 is now on CPAN.

This Lucy query extension supports looking for empty and not empty fields,
similar to a NULL SQL query.

Example:

 foo:NULL
 foo!:NULL   # or NOT foo:NULL

syntax above supported by Search::Query::Dialect::Lucy 0.10, also now on CPAN.

my $parser = Search::Query->parser(
    dialect   => 'Lucy',
    null_term => 'NULL',
);
my $query = $parser->parse('foo:NULL');
my $hits = $lucy_searcher->hits( query => $query->as_lucy_query() );

The classes themselves do not require a query term. They just require a field name.

 my $null_query = LucyX::Search::NullTermQuery->new( field => 'foo' );

Or are you asking if the query parser supports this syntax:

 foo:

instead of:

 foo:NULL

I.e., the empty string and the undef value are considered equivalent to NULL.

sure. join them with OR or AND.

 foo:NULL or bar:NULL

Great work Peter! Thank you!

And, ... :-) just wondering, is there a way one ca use NullTermQuery / 
AnyTermQuery to return all records for an empty query string? Also, is 
there a way to query multiple fields?
