NAME

Data::SearchEngine::Results - Results of a Data::SearchEngine serach

SYNOPSIS

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, as well as the ability to serialize via freeze and thaw thanks to MooseX::Storage.

use Data::SearchEngine::Item;
use Data::SearchEngine::Results;
use Time::HiRes;

sub query {

    # boring, search specific implementation
    
    my $results = Data::SearchEngine::Results->new(
        query       => $query
        pager       => Data::Page->new(...)
    );

    my $start = time;
    foreach $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;
}
