Method Detail

beginField

void beginField(MarkPos pos)

Marks the position of the very start of the field.

term

void term(MarkPos startPos,
          MarkPos endPos,
          String term)

Marks the start and end of a search term. Depending on the term marking mode, this may occur only within hits, or in the context area surrounding hits, or in the whole field.

Parameters:

startPos - start character

endPos - end character

term - term text as found in the index

beginContext

void beginContext(MarkPos pos,
                  Span span)

If context marking is enabled, this is called to mark the start of the context surrounding a hit. It will be followed by a call to beginSpan(), one or more calls to term(), then a call to endSpan(), and finally a call to endContext().

Parameters:

pos - starting position for context

span - the hit for which context is being marked

beginSpan

void beginSpan(MarkPos pos,
               Span span)

Marks the beginning of a hit. If context marking is enabled, this will always occur within a beginContext()/ endContext() pair. It will be followed by one or more calls to term(), then a call to endSpan().

endSpan

void endSpan(MarkPos pos)

Marks the end of a hit. Always follows beginSpan().

endContext

void endContext(MarkPos pos)

If context marking is enabled, this is called to mark the end of the context surrounding a hit. Always follows beginContext().

endField

void endField(MarkPos pos)

Marks the very end of the field.
