how do i filter my lucene search results?
- by Andrew Bullock
Say my requirement is
"search for all users by name, who are over 18"
If i were using SQL, i might write something like:
Select * from [Users]
Where ([firstname] like '%' + @searchTerm + '%' OR
[lastname] like '%' + @searchTerm + '%')
AND [age] >= 18
However, im having difficulty translating this into lucene.net.
This is what i have so far:
var parser = new MultiFieldQueryParser({ "firstname", "lastname"}, new StandardAnalyser());
var luceneQuery = parser.Parse(searchterm)
var query = FullTextSession.CreateFullTextQuery(luceneQuery, typeof(User));
var results = query.List<User>();
How do i add in the "where age = 18" bit?
I've heard about .SetFilter(), but this only accepts LuceneQueries, and not IQueries. If SetFilter is the right thing to use, how do I make the appropriate filter? If not, what do I use and how do i do it?
Thanks!
P.S. This is a vastly simplified version of what I'm trying to do for clarity, my WHERE clause is actually a lot more complicated than shown here. In reality i need to check if ids exist in subqueries and check a number of unindexed properties. Any solutions given need to support this.
Thanks
