Public methods

addFilterNamespaces

public SearchSpec.Builder addFilterNamespaces (String... namespaces)

Adds a namespace filter to SearchSpec Entry. Only search for documents that have the specified namespaces.

If unset, the query will search over all namespaces.

Parameters
namespaces String: This value cannot be null.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

addFilterNamespaces

public SearchSpec.Builder addFilterNamespaces (Collection<String> namespaces)

addFilterPackageNames

public SearchSpec.Builder addFilterPackageNames (String... packageNames)

Adds a package name filter to SearchSpec Entry. Only search for documents that were indexed from the specified packages.

If unset, the query will search over all packages that the caller has access to. If package names are specified which caller doesn't have access to, then those package names will be ignored.

Parameters
packageNames String: This value cannot be null.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

addFilterPackageNames

public SearchSpec.Builder addFilterPackageNames (Collection<String> packageNames)

Adds a package name filter to SearchSpec Entry. Only search for documents that were indexed from the specified packages.

If unset, the query will search over all packages that the caller has access to. If package names are specified which caller doesn't have access to, then those package names will be ignored.

Parameters
packageNames Collection: This value cannot be null.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

addFilterSchemas

public SearchSpec.Builder addFilterSchemas (Collection<String> schemas)

Adds a Schema type filter to SearchSpec Entry. Only search for documents that have the specified schema types.

If unset, the query will search over all schema types.

Parameters
schemas Collection: This value cannot be null.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

addFilterSchemas

public SearchSpec.Builder addFilterSchemas (String... schemas)

Adds a Schema type filter to SearchSpec Entry. Only search for documents that have the specified schema types.

If unset, the query will search over all schema types.

Parameters
schemas String: This value cannot be null.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

addProjection

public SearchSpec.Builder addProjection (String schema, 
                Collection<String> propertyPaths)

Adds property paths for the specified type to be used for projection. If property paths are added for a type, then only the properties referred to will be retrieved for results of that type. If a property path that is specified isn't present in a result, it will be ignored for that result. Property paths cannot be null.

If no property paths are added for a particular type, then all properties of results of that type will be retrieved.

If property path is added for the SearchSpec#PROJECTION_SCHEMA_TYPE_WILDCARD, then those property paths will apply to all results, excepting any types that have their own, specific property paths set.

Suppose the following document is in the index.

Email: Document {
   sender: Document {
     name: "Mr. Person"
     email: "mrperson123@google.com"
   }
   recipients: [
     Document {
       name: "John Doe"
       email: "johndoe123@google.com"
     }
     Document {
       name: "Jane Doe"
       email: "janedoe123@google.com"
     }
   ]
   subject: "IMPORTANT"
   body: "Limited time offer!"
 }
 

Then, suppose that a query for "important" is issued with the following projection type property paths:

{schema: "Email", ["subject", "sender.name", "recipients.name"]}
 

The above document will be returned as:

Email: Document {
   sender: Document {
     name: "Mr. Body"
   }
   recipients: [
     Document {
       name: "John Doe"
     }
     Document {
       name: "Jane Doe"
     }
   ]
   subject: "IMPORTANT"
 }
 

Parameters
schema String: This value cannot be null.

propertyPaths Collection: This value cannot be null.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder

build

public SearchSpec build ()

Constructs a new SearchSpec from the contents of this builder.

Returns
SearchSpec This value cannot be null.

setMaxSnippetSize

public SearchSpec.Builder setMaxSnippetSize (int maxSnippetSize)

Sets maxSnippetSize, the maximum snippet size. Snippet windows start at maxSnippetSize/2 bytes before the middle of the matching token and end at maxSnippetSize/2 bytes after the middle of the matching token. It respects token boundaries, therefore the returned window may be smaller than requested.

Setting maxSnippetSize to 0 will disable windowing and an empty string will be returned. If matches enabled is also set to false, then snippeting is disabled.

Ex. maxSnippetSize = 16. "foo bar baz bat rat" with a query of "baz" will return a window of "bar baz bat" which is only 11 bytes long.

Parameters
maxSnippetSize int: Value is between 0 and MAX_SNIPPET_SIZE_LIMIT inclusive

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setOrder

public SearchSpec.Builder setOrder (int order)

Indicates the order of returned search results, the default is SearchSpec.ORDER_DESCENDING, meaning that results with higher scores come first.

This order field will be ignored if RankingStrategy = RANKING_STRATEGY_NONE.

Parameters
order int: Value is SearchSpec.ORDER_DESCENDING, or SearchSpec.ORDER_ASCENDING

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setRankingStrategy

public SearchSpec.Builder setRankingStrategy (int rankingStrategy)

Sets ranking strategy for AppSearch results.

Parameters
rankingStrategy int: Value is SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_NONE, SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_DOCUMENT_SCORE, SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_CREATION_TIMESTAMP, SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_RELEVANCE_SCORE, SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_USAGE_COUNT, SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_USAGE_LAST_USED_TIMESTAMP, SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_SYSTEM_USAGE_COUNT, or SearchSpec.RANKING_STRATEGY_SYSTEM_USAGE_LAST_USED_TIMESTAMP

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setResultCountPerPage

public SearchSpec.Builder setResultCountPerPage (int resultCountPerPage)

Sets the number of results per page in the returned object.

The default number of results per page is 10.

Parameters
resultCountPerPage int: Value is between 0 and MAX_NUM_PER_PAGE inclusive

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setResultGrouping

public SearchSpec.Builder setResultGrouping (int groupingTypeFlags, 
                int limit)

Set the maximum number of results to return for each group, where groups are defined by grouping type.

Calling this method will override any previous calls. So calling setResultGrouping(GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, 7) and then calling setResultGrouping(GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, 2) will result in only the latter, a limit of two results per package, being applied. Or calling setResultGrouping (GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, 1) and then calling setResultGrouping (GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE | GROUPING_PER_NAMESPACE, 5) will result in five results per package per namespace.

Parameters
groupingTypeFlags int: One or more combination of grouping types. Value is either 0 or a combination of SearchSpec.GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, and SearchSpec.GROUPING_TYPE_PER_NAMESPACE

limit int: Number of results to return per groupingTypeFlags.

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if groupingTypeFlags is zero.

setSnippetCount

public SearchSpec.Builder setSnippetCount (int snippetCount)

Only the first snippetCount documents based on the ranking strategy will have snippet information provided.

The list returned from SearchResult#getMatchInfos will contain at most this many entries.

If set to 0 (default), snippeting is disabled and the list returned from SearchResult.getMatchInfos() will be empty.

Parameters
snippetCount int: Value is between 0 and MAX_SNIPPET_COUNT inclusive

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setSnippetCountPerProperty

public SearchSpec.Builder setSnippetCountPerProperty (int snippetCountPerProperty)

Sets snippetCountPerProperty. Only the first snippetCountPerProperty snippets for each property of each GenericDocument will contain snippet information.

If set to 0, snippeting is disabled and the list returned from SearchResult.getMatchInfos() will be empty.

The default behavior is to snippet all matches a property contains, up to the maximum value of 10,000.

Parameters
snippetCountPerProperty int: Value is between 0 and MAX_SNIPPET_PER_PROPERTY_COUNT inclusive

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setTermMatch

public SearchSpec.Builder setTermMatch (int termMatchType)

Indicates how the query terms should match TermMatchCode in the index.

If this method is not called, the default term match type is SearchSpec.TERM_MATCH_PREFIX.

Parameters
termMatchType int: Value is SearchSpec.TERM_MATCH_EXACT_ONLY, or SearchSpec.TERM_MATCH_PREFIX

Returns
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.
