## Class BoostQueryNode

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes.QueryNodeImpl
  - - org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes.BoostQueryNode

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, QueryNode

    public class BoostQueryNode
    extends QueryNodeImpl

A `BoostQueryNode` boosts the QueryNode tree which is under this node. So, it must only and always have one child. The boost value may vary from 0.0 to 1.0.

Constructor and Description
`BoostQueryNode(QueryNode query, float value)` Constructs a boost node

### Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
`QueryNode` `cloneTree()` Recursive clone the QueryNode tree The tags are not copied to the new tree when you call the cloneTree() method
`QueryNode` `getChild()` Returns the single child which this node boosts.
`float` `getValue()` Returns the boost value.
`CharSequence` `toQueryString(EscapeQuerySyntax escapeSyntaxParser)` convert to a query string understood by the query parser
`String` `toString()` Every implementation of this class should return pseudo xml like this: For FieldQueryNode: <field start='1' end='2' field='subject' text='foo'/>
