All Implemented Interfaces:

EventConstants, TupleSet

public class PrefixSearchTupleSet
extends SearchTupleSet

SearchTupleSet implementation supporting word prefix searches over indexed Tuple data fields. This class uses a Trie data structure to find search results quickly; however, only prefix matches will be identified as valid search matches. Multi-term search queries will result in the union of the results for the individual query terms. That is, Tuples that match any one of the terms will be included in the results.

For more advanced search capabilities, see KeywordSearchTupleSet or RegexSearchTupleSet.

Constructor Detail

PrefixSearchTupleSet

public PrefixSearchTupleSet()

Creates a new KeywordSearchFocusSet that is not case sensitive.

PrefixSearchTupleSet

public PrefixSearchTupleSet(boolean caseSensitive)

Creates a new KeywordSearchFocusSet with the indicated case sensitivity.

Parameters:

caseSensitive - true if the search routines should be case sensitive, false otherwise.

Method Detail

getDelimiterString

public java.lang.String getDelimiterString()

Returns the delimiter string used to divide data values and queries into separate words. By default, the value consists of just whitespace characters.

Returns:

the delimiter string used. This is passed as an argument to a StringTokenizer instance that will tokenize the text.

See Also:

StringTokenizer

setDelimiterString

public void setDelimiterString(java.lang.String delim)

Sets the delimiter string used to divide data values and queries into separate words. By default, the delimiter consists of just whitespace characters.

Parameters:

delim - the delimiter string to use. This is passed as an argument to a StringTokenizer instance that will tokenize the text.

See Also:

StringTokenizer

getQuery

public java.lang.String getQuery()

Description copied from class: SearchTupleSet

Returns the current search query, if any.

Specified by:

getQuery in class SearchTupleSet

Returns:

the currently active search query

See Also:

SearchTupleSet.getQuery()

search

public void search(java.lang.String query)

Searches the indexed Tuple fields for matching string prefixes, adding the Tuple instances for each search match to this TupleSet. The query string is first broken up into separate terms, as determined by the current delimiter string. A search for each term is conducted, and all matching Tuples are included in the results.

Specified by:

search in class SearchTupleSet

Parameters:

query - the query string to search for.

See Also:

setDelimiterString(String)

index

public void index(Tuple t,
                  java.lang.String field)

Indexes the given field of the provided Tuple instance.

Specified by:

index in class SearchTupleSet

Parameters:

t - the Tuple

field - the data field to index

See Also:

SearchTupleSet.index(prefuse.data.Tuple, java.lang.String)

isUnindexSupported

public boolean isUnindexSupported()

Returns true, as unidexing is supported by this class.

Specified by:

isUnindexSupported in class SearchTupleSet

Returns:

true if unindex is supported, false otherwise.

See Also:

SearchTupleSet.isUnindexSupported()

unindex

public void unindex(Tuple t,
                    java.lang.String field)

Description copied from class: SearchTupleSet

Un-index an individual Tuple field, so that it can no longer be searched for.

Specified by:

unindex in class SearchTupleSet

Parameters:

t - the Tuple

field - the data field to unindex

See Also:

SearchTupleSet.unindex(prefuse.data.Tuple, java.lang.String)

clear

public void clear()

Removes all search hits and clears out the index.

Specified by:

clear in interface TupleSet

Overrides:

clear in class DefaultTupleSet

See Also:

TupleSet.clear()
