NAME

       KinoSearch1::QueryParser::QueryParser - transform a string into a Query object

SYNOPSIS

	   my $query_parser = KinoSearch1::QueryParser::QueryParser->new(
	       analyzer => $analyzer,
	       fields	=> [ 'bodytext' ],
	   );
	   my $query = $query_parser->parse( $query_string );
	   my $hits  = $searcher->search( query => $query );

DESCRIPTION

       The QueryParser accepts search strings as input and produces Query objects, suitable for feeding into KinoSearch1::Searcher.

   Syntax
       The following constructs are recognized by QueryParser.

       o   Boolean operators 'AND', 'OR', and 'AND NOT'.

       o   Prepented +plus and -minus, indicating that the labeled entity should be either required or forbidden -- be it a single word, a phrase,
	   or a parenthetical group.

       o   Logical groups, delimited by parentheses.

       o   Phrases, delimited by double quotes.

       o   Field-specific terms, in the form of "fieldname:termtext".  (The field specified by fieldname will be used instead of the QueryParser's
	   default fields).

	   A field can also be given to a logical group, in which case it is the same as if the field had been prepended onto every term in the
	   group.  For example: "foo:(bar baz)" is the same as "foo:bar foo:baz".

METHODS

   new
	   my $query_parser = KinoSearch1::QueryParser::QueryParser->new(
	       analyzer       => $analyzer,	  # required
	       fields	      => [ 'bodytext' ],  # required
	       default_boolop => 'AND', 	  # default: 'OR'
	   );

       Constructor.  Takes hash-style parameters:

       o   analyzer - An object which subclasses KinoSearch1::Analysis::Analyzer.  This must be identical to the Analyzer used at index-time, or
	   the results won't match up.

       o   fields - the names of the fields which will be searched against.  Must be supplied as an arrayref.

       o   default_field - deprecated. Use "fields" instead.

       o   default_boolop - two possible values: 'AND' and 'OR'.  The default is 'OR', which means: return documents which match any of the query
	   terms.  If you want only documents which match all of the query terms, set this to 'AND'.

   parse
	   my $query = $query_parser->parse( $query_string );

       Turn a query string into a Query object.  Depending on the contents of the query string, the returned object could be any one of several
       subclasses of KinoSearch1::Search::Query.
