## Class SpanNearQuery

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.Query
  - - org.apache.lucene.search.spans.SpanQuery
    - - org.apache.lucene.search.spans.SpanNearQuery

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable

      public class SpanNearQuery
      extends SpanQuery
      implements Cloneable

  Matches spans which are near one another. One can specify slop, the maximum number of intervening unmatched positions, as well as whether matches are required to be in-order.

    - #### clauses

          protected List<SpanQuery> clauses

    - #### slop

          protected int slop

    - #### inOrder

          protected boolean inOrder

    - #### field

          protected String field

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SpanNearQuery

          public SpanNearQuery(SpanQuery[] clausesIn,
                               int slop,
                               boolean inOrder)

      Construct a SpanNearQuery. Matches spans matching a span from each clause, with up to `slop` total unmatched positions between them.
      When `inOrder` is true, the spans from each clause must be in the same order as in `clauses` and must be non-overlapping.
      When `inOrder` is false, the spans from each clause need not be ordered and may overlap.
      Parameters:
        `clausesIn` - the clauses to find near each other, in the same field, at least 2.
        `slop` - The slop value
        `inOrder` - true if order is important

    - #### newUnorderedNearQuery

          public static SpanNearQuery.Builder newUnorderedNearQuery(String field)

          public SpanQuery[] getClauses()

      Return the clauses whose spans are matched.

    - #### getSlop

          public int getSlop()

      Return the maximum number of intervening unmatched positions permitted.

    - #### isInOrder

          public boolean isInOrder()

      Return true if matches are required to be in-order.

    - #### getField

          public String getField()

      Description copied from class: `SpanQuery`
      Returns the name of the field matched by this query.
      Specified by:
        `getField` in class `SpanQuery`

    - #### toString

          public String toString(String field)

      Description copied from class: `Query`
      Prints a query to a string, with `field` assumed to be the default field and omitted.
      Specified by:
        `toString` in class `Query`

    - #### createWeight

          public SpanWeight createWeight(IndexSearcher searcher,
                                         boolean needsScores)
                                  throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `Query`
      Expert: Constructs an appropriate Weight implementation for this query.

      Only implemented by primitive queries, which re-write to themselves.

      Specified by:
        `createWeight` in class `SpanQuery`
        `needsScores` - True if document scores (`Scorer.score()`) or match frequencies (`Scorer.freq()`) are needed.
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### rewrite

          public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
                        throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `Query`
      Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries. For example, a PrefixQuery will be rewritten into a BooleanQuery that consists of TermQuerys.
      Overrides:
        `rewrite` in class `Query`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object other)

      Description copied from class: `Query`
      Override and implement query instance equivalence properly in a subclass. This is required so that `QueryCache` works properly. Typically a query will be equal to another only if it's an instance of the same class and its document-filtering properties are identical that other instance. Utility methods are provided for certain repetitive code.
      Specified by:
        `equals` in class `Query`
      See Also:
        `Query.sameClassAs(Object)`, `Query.classHash()`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Description copied from class: `Query`
      Override and implement query hash code properly in a subclass. This is required so that `QueryCache` works properly.
      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in class `Query`
      See Also:
        `Query.equals(Object)`
