Hello.
I am faced with a trivial issue: Everytime my Query is being fired as a
Boolean Query...
Providing Input : <param name="user_name" value="USER_NAME_MENTIONED"/>\*
This input is provided. Since this contains special characters I use
escape method of QueryParser (removed escaping for * and ? since they
are needed for WildCard and Prefix Searches.)
public static String escape(String s) {
System.out.println("CALLED");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
char c = s.charAt(i);
// These characters are part of the query syntax and must be
escaped
if (c == '\\' || c == '+' || c == '-' || c == '!' || c == '('
|| c == ')' || c == ':'
|| c == '^' || c == '[' || c == ']' || c == '\"' || c ==
'{' || c == '}' || c == '~'
|| c == '|' || c == '&' || c == '/') {
sb.append('\\');
}
sb.append(c);
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return sb.toString();
}
/*The function which is used to provide the HIT:*/
Directory directory=null;;
IndexReader reader=null;
IndexSearcher searcher=null;
Analyzer analyzer=null;
try
{
Analyzer analyzer = new
StandardAnalyzer(Version.LUCENE_44);
directory = FSDirectory.open(new
File(strMainIndexPath.replace("\\", "/")));
reader = DirectoryReader.open(directory); //location
where indexes are.
searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader);
System.out.println("Searching for '" + searchString +
"' using QueryParser");
QueryParser queryParser = new
QueryParser(Version.LUCENE_44,"contents",analyzer);
searchString=CommonMethods.escape(searchString);
//MENTIONED ABOVE
System.out.println("ESCAPE STRING AFTER THE ESCAPE
FUNCTION OF QUERYPARSER >>> " + searchString);
Query query = queryParser.parse(searchString);
System.out.println("Type of query: "
+query.getClass().getSimpleName()); //GETTING IT AS BOOLEAN ALWAYS..
The last output is always BOOLEAN Query... Even if I am appending * at
the end, the query is always Boolean...
I have to use QueryParser ONLY....
Absolutely no manipulation is done on string from being given as in
input to the string which is provided to this search function.
Kindly guide..
TIA.
