NAME

Search::Query::Dialect::KSx::WildcardQuery - KinoSearch query extension

SYNOPSIS

my $query = Search::Query->parser( dialect => 'KSx' )->parse('foo*');
my $ks_query = $query->as_ks_query();
# $ks_query isa WildcardQuery

DESCRIPTION

Search::Query::Dialect::KSx::WildcardQuery extends the KinoSearch::QueryParser syntax to support wildcards. This code is similar to the sample PrefixQuery code in the KinoSearch distribution and the KSx::Search::WildCardQuery module on CPAN.

METHODS

This class is a subclass of KinoSearch::Search::Query. Only new or overridden methods are documented here.

new( args )

Create a new WildcardQuery object. args must contain key/value pairs for field and term.

get_term

get_field

Retrieve the value set in new().

get_regex

Retrieve the qr// object representing term.

get_prefix

Retrieve the literal string (if any) that precedes the wildcards in term.

get_suffix

Retrieve the literal string (if any) that follows the wildcards in term.

equals

Returns true (1) if the object represents the same kind of query clause as another WildcardQuery.

NOTE: Currently a NOTWildcardQuery and a WildcardQuery object will evaluate as equal if they have the same terma and field. This is a bug.

to_string

Returns the query clause the object represents.

make_compiler

Returns a Search::Query::Dialect::KSx::WildcardCompiler object.
