Method Detail

add

boolean add(java.lang.Object o)

Adds search index document for the argument object. An object handler for the object type is responsible for parsing.

Note: Normally, it is more efficient to invoke add(Collection).

Parameters:

o -

Returns:

add

boolean add(java.util.Collection objects)

Adds search index documents for the argument object collection. Each object handler for the object type of each item is responsible for parsing.

Parameters:

objects -

Returns:

remove

boolean remove(java.lang.Object o)

Removes search index document for the argument object. An object handler for the object type is responsible for parsing.

Note: Normally, it is more efficient to invoke remove(Collection).

Parameters:

o -

Returns:

remove

boolean remove(java.util.Collection objects)

Removes search index documents for the argument object collection. Each object handler for the object type of each item is responsible for parsing.

Parameters:

objects -

Returns:

update

boolean update(java.lang.Object o)

Updates the search index document for the argument object. An object handler for the object type is responsible for parsing.

Note: Normally, it is more efficient to invoke update(Collection).

Parameters:

o -

Returns:

update

boolean update(java.util.Collection objects)

Updates the search index documents for the argument object collection. Each object handler for the object type of each item is responsible for parsing.

Parameters:

objects -

Returns:

optimize

boolean optimize()

Requests optimization

Returns:

search

SearchResults search(java.lang.String query)

Searches documents by the query. The default field name and the default top hits count can be used in a specific implementation.

Parameters:

query -

Returns:

search

SearchResults search(java.lang.String query,
                     java.lang.String defaultFieldName)

Searches documents by the query against the default field name. The default top hits count can be used in a specific implementation.

Parameters:

query -

defaultFieldName -

Returns:

search

SearchResults search(java.lang.String query,
                     java.lang.String defaultFieldName,
                     int topHitsCount)

Searches documents by the query against the default field name. The returned item count will not be more than topHitsCount.

Parameters:

query -

defaultFieldName -

topHitsCount -

Returns:
