org.hibernate.search.mapper.orm.search

Interface SearchScope<E>

Type Parameters:

E - A supertype of all types in this scope.

public interface SearchScope<E>

Represents a set of types and the corresponding indexes, allowing to build search-related objects (query, predicate, ...) taking into account the relevant indexes and their metadata (underlying technology, field types, ...).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
SearchPredicateFactoryContext	predicate() Initiate the building of a search predicate.
SearchProjectionFactoryContext<PojoReference,E>	projection() Initiate the building of a search projection that will be valid for the indexes in this scope.
HibernateOrmSearchQueryResultDefinitionContext<E>	search() Initiate the building of a search query.
SearchSortContainerContext	sort() Initiate the building of a search sort.

Method Detail

search

HibernateOrmSearchQueryResultDefinitionContext<E> search()

Initiate the building of a search query.

The query will target the indexes mapped to types in this scope, or to any of their sub-types.

Returns:

A context allowing to define the search query, and ultimately get the resulting query.

HibernateOrmSearchQueryResultDefinitionContext

predicate

SearchPredicateFactoryContext predicate()

Initiate the building of a search predicate.

The predicate will only be valid for search queries created using this scope or a wider scope.

Note this method is only necessary if you do not want to use lambda expressions, since you can define predicates with lambdas within the search query DSL, removing the need to create separate objects to represent the predicates.

Returns:

A context allowing to define the predicate, and ultimately get the resulting predicate.

SearchPredicateFactoryContext

sort

SearchSortContainerContext sort()

Initiate the building of a search sort.

The sort will only be valid for search queries created using this scope or a wider scope.

Note this method is only necessary if you do not want to use lambda expressions, since you can define sorts with lambdas within the search query DSL, removing the need to create separate objects to represent the sorts.

Returns:

A context allowing to define the sort, and ultimately get the resulting sort.

SearchSortContainerContext

projection

SearchProjectionFactoryContext<PojoReference,E> projection()

Initiate the building of a search projection that will be valid for the indexes in this scope.

The projection will only be valid for search queries created using this scope or a wider scope.

Note this method is only necessary if you do not want to use lambda expressions, since you can SearchQueryResultDefinitionContext.asProjection(Function) define projections with lambdas} within the search query DSL, removing the need to create separate objects to represent the projections.

Returns:

A context allowing to define the projection, and ultimately get the resulting projection.
