Class Query (2.0.0) 

public class Query

A query to search an index for documents which match, restricting the document fields returned to those given, and scoring and sorting the results, whilst supporting pagination.

For example, the following query will search for documents where the tokens 'good' and 'story' occur in some fields, returns up to 20 results including the fields 'author' and 'date-sent' as well as snippeted fields 'subject' and 'body'. The results are sorted by 'author' in descending order, getting the next 20 results from the responseCursor in the previously returned results, giving back a single cursor in the Results to get the next batch of results after this. 


 QueryOptions options = QueryOptions.newBuilder()
     .setLimit(20)
     .setFieldsToSnippet("subject", "body")
     .setScorer(CustomScorer.newBuilder()
         .addSortExpression(SortExpression.newBuilder()
             .setExpression("author")
             .setDirection(SortDirection.DESCENDING)
             .setDefaultValue("")))
     .setCursor(responseCursor)
     .build();
 Query query = Query.newBuilder()
     .setOptions(options)
     .build("good story");

The following query will return facet information with the query result:

Query query = Query.newBuilder() .setOptions(options) .setEnableFacetDiscovery(true) .build("tablet");

To customize returned facet or refine the result using a previously returned FacetResultValue#getRefinementToken:

Query query = Query.newBuilder() .setOptions(options) .setEnableFacetDiscovery(true) .setFacetOptions(FacetOptions.newBuilder().setDiscoveryLimit(5).build()) .addReturnFacet("shipping") .addReturnFacet(FacetRequest.newBuilder().setName("department") .addValueConstraint("Computers") .addValueConstraint("Electronics") .build()) .addRefinementToken(refinementToken1) .addRefinementToken(refinementToken2) .build("tablet");
