    • Method Detail

      • getEnabled

        public final boolean getEnabled()
        Gets a value indicating whether fuzzy search feature is enabled. The default value is false.
        Returns:
        A value indicating whether fuzzy search feature is enabled.
      • setEnabled

        public final void setEnabled(boolean value)
        Sets a value indicating whether fuzzy search feature is enabled. The default value is false.
        Parameters:
        value - A value indicating whether fuzzy search feature is enabled.
      • getFuzzyAlgorithm

        public final FuzzyAlgorithm getFuzzyAlgorithm()
        Gets the fuzzy search algorithm. The currently available fuzzy search algorithms are SimilarityLevel and TableDiscreteFunction. The default value is an instance of SimilarityLevel with a similarity level value of 0.5.
        Returns:
        The fuzzy search algorithm.

        The example demonstrates how to set the fuzzy search algorithm.

         
         String indexFolder = "c:\\MyIndex\\";
         String documentsFolder = "c:\\MyDocuments\\";
         String query = "Einstein";
         Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Creating an index in the specified folder
         index.add(documentsFolder); // Indexing documents from the specified folder
         SearchOptions options = new SearchOptions();
         options.getFuzzySearch().setEnabled(true); // Enabling the fuzzy search
         options.getFuzzySearch().setFuzzyAlgorithm(new TableDiscreteFunction(1, new Step(5, 2), new Step(8, 3))); // Creating the fuzzy search algorithm
         // This function specifies 1 as the maximum number of mistakes for words from 1 to 4 characters.
         // It specifies 2 as the maximum number of mistakes for words from 5 to 7 characters.
         // It specifies 3 as the maximum number of mistakes for words from 8 and more characters.
         SearchResult result = index.search(query, options); // Search in index
         
         
      • setFuzzyAlgorithm

        public final void setFuzzyAlgorithm(FuzzyAlgorithm value)
        Sets the fuzzy search algorithm. The currently available fuzzy search algorithms are SimilarityLevel and TableDiscreteFunction. The default value is an instance of SimilarityLevel with a similarity level value of 0.5.
        Parameters:
        value - The fuzzy search algorithm.

        The example demonstrates how to set the fuzzy search algorithm.

         
         String indexFolder = "c:\\MyIndex\\";
         String documentsFolder = "c:\\MyDocuments\\";
         String query = "Einstein";
         Index index = new Index(indexFolder); // Creating an index in the specified folder
         index.add(documentsFolder); // Indexing documents from the specified folder
         SearchOptions options = new SearchOptions();
         options.getFuzzySearch().setEnabled(true); // Enabling the fuzzy search
         options.getFuzzySearch().setFuzzyAlgorithm(new TableDiscreteFunction(1, new Step(5, 2), new Step(8, 3))); // Creating the fuzzy search algorithm
         // This function specifies 1 as the maximum number of mistakes for words from 1 to 4 characters.
         // It specifies 2 as the maximum number of mistakes for words from 5 to 7 characters.
         // It specifies 3 as the maximum number of mistakes for words from 8 and more characters.
         SearchResult result = index.search(query, options); // Search in index
         
         
      • getOnlyBestResults

        public final boolean getOnlyBestResults()
        Gets a value indicating whether only the best results will be returned. The default value is false.
