Field Detail

index

protected transient Index index

field

protected String field

The fields that a query term should appear in.

requirement

protected boolean requirement

The requirement. By default it is true.

Constructor Detail

TermInFieldModifier

public TermInFieldModifier(String _field)

Constructs an instance of a TermInFieldModifier given a field that the corresponding query term should appear in.

Parameters:

_field - String a field

TermInFieldModifier

public TermInFieldModifier(String _field,
                           boolean req)

Constructs an instance of a TermInFieldModifier given a field that the corresponding query term should appear in.

Parameters:

_field - String a field

req - boolean the requirement for this field. If req is true, then the term is required to appear in the field (this is the default behaviour), otherwise the term should not appear in the field.

Method Detail

modifyScores

public int modifyScores(double[] scores,
                        int[][] pointers)

Resets the scores of documents for a particular term, based on the fields a term appears in documents.

Parameters:

scores - double[] the scores of the documents.

pointers - int[][] the pointers read from the inverted file for a particular query term.

Returns:

the number of documents for which the scores were modified.
