The way i have done is ,
if there is a wildcard , Use WildCardQuery ,
else other.
Here searchFields is an array which contains the column names . search
string is the value to be searched.
if ((searchString.indexOf(IOOSConstants.ASTERISK) > -1)
|| (searchString.indexOf(IOOSConstants.QUESTION_MARK) > -1))
{
WildcardQuery wQuery = new WildcardQuery(new Term(
searchFields[0], searchString));
booleanQuery.add(wQuery, true, false);
if (searchFields.length > 1)
{
WildcardQuery wQuery2 = new WildcardQuery(new Term(
searchFields[1], searchString));
booleanQuery.add(wQuery2, true, false);
}
}
else
{
Query query = MultiFieldQueryParser.parse(searchString,
searchFields, flags, analyzer);
booleanQuery.add(query, true, false);
}
Query queryfilter = MultiFieldQueryParser.parse(filterString,
filterFields, flags, analyzer);
QueryFilter queryFilter = new QueryFilter(queryfilter);
hits = parallelMultiSearcher.search(booleanQuery, queryFilter);
In the meanwhile , i thought i would tokenize the string based on
space if the input contains spaces and then add them one by one into
booleanQuery. But this gave a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
So am still trying...
Thanks for your help . would appreciate greately if you could give me
more pointers .
Thanks
Robin.
