NAME
KSx::Search::WildCardQuery - Wild card query class for KinoSearch
VERSION
0.05
SYNOPSIS
use KSx::Search::WildCardQuery
my $query = new KSx::Search::WildCardQuery
term => 'foo*',
field => 'content',
;
$searcher->search($query);
# etc.DESCRIPTION
This module provides search query objects for KinoSearch that perform wild-card searches. Currently, asterisks (*) are the only wild cards supported. An asterisks represents zero or more characters. This is a subclass of KSx::Search::RegexpTermQuery (q.v.).
PERFORMANCE
If a term begins with literal (non-wild-card) characters (e.g., the foo in foo*), only the 'foo' words in the index will be scanned, so this should not be too slow, as long as the prefix is fairly long, or there are sufficiently few 'foo' words. If, however, there is no literal prefix (e.g., *foo*), the entire index will be scanned, so beware.
METHODS
new
This is the constructor. It constructs. Call it with hash-style arguments as shown in the "SYNOPSIS".
