public Passage()

Method Detail

getStartOffset

public int getStartOffset()

Start offset of this passage.

Returns:

start index (inclusive) of the passage in the original content: always >= 0.

getEndOffset

public int getEndOffset()

End offset of this passage.

Returns:

end index (exclusive) of the passage in the original content: always >= getStartOffset()

getScore

public float getScore()

Passage's score.

getNumMatches

public int getNumMatches()

Number of term matches available in getMatchStarts(), getMatchEnds(), getMatchTerms()

getMatchStarts

public int[] getMatchStarts()

Start offsets of the term matches, in increasing order.

Only getNumMatches() are valid. Note that these offsets are absolute (not relative to getStartOffset()).

getMatchEnds

public int[] getMatchEnds()

End offsets of the term matches, corresponding with getMatchStarts().

Only getNumMatches() are valid. Note that its possible that an end offset could exceed beyond the bounds of the passage (getEndOffset()), if the Analyzer produced a term which spans a passage boundary.

getMatchTerms

public Term[] getMatchTerms()

Term of the matches, corresponding with getMatchStarts().

Only getNumMatches() are valid.
