Method Detail

searchExact

List<TmHit> searchExact(TextFragment query,
                        Metadata metadata)

Get a list of exact matches for a given text fragment, taking inline codes in account.

Parameters:

query - the fragment to search for

metadata - the metadata attributes to also match against, null for no metadata.

Returns:

a list of exact matches

Throws:

OkapiIOException - if the search cannot be completed due to I/O problems

searchFuzzy

List<TmHit> searchFuzzy(TextFragment query,
                        int threshold,
                        int maxHits,
                        Metadata metadata)

Get a list of fuzzy matches for a given text fragment, taking inline codes in account.

Parameters:

query - the fragment to search for.

threshold - the minimal score value to return.

maxHits - the max number of hits returned.

metadata - the metadata attributes to also match against, null for no metadata.

Returns:

a list of exact or fuzzy matches.

Throws:

OkapiIOException - if the search cannot be completed do to I/O problems

searchSimpleConcordance

                                    int threshold,
                                    int maxHits,
                                    Metadata metadata)

Get a list of concordance matches (without position offsets) for a given text string. Simple condordance does not allow codes.

Parameters:

query - the string to search for.

threshold - the minimal score value to return.

maxHits - the max number of hits returned

metadata - the metadata attributes to also match against, null for no metadata.

Returns:

a list of exact or fuzzy concordance marches.

Throws:
