    public class TermRangeQuery

extends MultiTermQuery

A Query that matches documents within an range of terms.

This query matches the documents looking for terms that fall into the supplied range according to `Byte.compareTo(Byte)`. It is not intended for numerical ranges; use `NumericRangeQuery` instead.

This query uses the `MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_AUTO_REWRITE_DEFAULT` rewrite method.

Since:
  2.9

Constructor Detail

### TermRangeQuery

    public TermRangeQuery(String field,
                          BytesRef lowerTerm,
                          BytesRef upperTerm,
                          boolean includeLower,
                          boolean includeUpper)

  Constructs a query selecting all terms greater/equal than `lowerTerm` but less/equal than `upperTerm`.

  If an endpoint is null, it is said to be "open". Either or both endpoints may be open. Open endpoints may not be exclusive (you can't select all but the first or last term without explicitly specifying the term to exclude.)

  Parameters:
    `field` - The field that holds both lower and upper terms.
    `lowerTerm` - The term text at the lower end of the range
    `upperTerm` - The term text at the upper end of the range
    `includeLower` - If true, the `lowerTerm` is included in the range.
    `includeUpper` - If true, the `upperTerm` is included in the range.

Method Detail

### newStringRange

    public static TermRangeQuery newStringRange(String field,
                                                String lowerTerm,
                                                String upperTerm,
                                                boolean includeLower,
                                                boolean includeUpper)

  Factory that creates a new TermRangeQuery using Strings for term text.

### getLowerTerm

    public BytesRef getLowerTerm()

  Returns the lower value of this range query

### getUpperTerm

    public BytesRef getUpperTerm()

  Returns the upper value of this range query

### includesLower

    public boolean includesLower()

  Returns `true` if the lower endpoint is inclusive

### includesUpper

    public boolean includesUpper()

  Returns `true` if the upper endpoint is inclusive

### getTermsEnum

    protected TermsEnum getTermsEnum(Terms terms,
                                     AttributeSource atts)
                              throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `MultiTermQuery`
  Construct the enumeration to be used, expanding the pattern term. This method should only be called if the field exists (ie, implementations can assume the field does exist). This method should not return null (should instead return `TermsEnum.EMPTY` if no terms match). The TermsEnum must already be positioned to the first matching term. The given `AttributeSource` is passed by the `MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod` to provide attributes, the rewrite method uses to inform about e.g. maximum competitive boosts. This is currently only used by `TopTermsRewrite`

  Specified by:
    `getTermsEnum` in class `MultiTermQuery`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### toString

    public String toString(String field)

  Prints a user-readable version of this query.

  Specified by:
    `toString` in class `Query`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `MultiTermQuery`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `MultiTermQuery`
