SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# An example search implementation
sub search {
    my ($self, $query) = @_;
    # boring, search specific implementation
     
    my $results = Data::SearchEngine::Results->new(
        query       => $query,
        pager       => Data::SearchEngine::Paginator->new # Data::Paginator subclass
    );
    my @sorted_products; # fill with a search or something
    my $scores; # fill with search scores
    my $start = time;
    foreach my $product (@sorted_products) {
        my $item = Data::SearchEngine::Item->new(
            id      => $product->id,            # unique product id
            score   => $scores->{$product->id}  # make your own scores
        );
        $item->set_value('url', 'http://example.com/product/'.$product->id);
        $item->set_value('price', $product->price);
        $results->add($item);
    }
    $results->elapsed(time - $start);
    return $results;
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

The Results object holds the list of items found during a query. They are usually sorted by a score. This object provides some standard attributes you are likely to use.

SERIALIZATION

This module uses MooseX::Storage::Deferred to provide serialization. You may serialize it thusly:

            

              
              
my $json = $results->freeze({ format => 'JSON' });
# ...
my $results = Data::SearchEngine::Results->thaw($json, { format => 'JSON' });
            
          

ATTRIBUTES

elapsed

The time it took to complete this search.

items

The list of Data::SearchEngine::Items found for the query.

query

The Data::SearchEngine::Query that yielded this Results object.

pager

The Data::Page for this result.

raw

An attribute that a search backend may fill with the "raw" response it received. This is useful for retrieving engine-specific information such as debugging or tracing information. Type is Any.

METHODS

add ($item)

Add an item to this result.

get ($n)

Get the nth item.
