💖 Lucy::Search::MatchAllQuery(3pm) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Lucy::Search::MatchAllQuery page — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section and it is, no exaggeration, the chillest little utility class in the whole search stack. pull up a chair. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Lucy::Search::MatchAllQuery — a Query which matches all documents. every single one. the whole roster. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

MatchAllQuery is a utility class, and its whole personality is: it matches all documents. that's it. that's the job. iconic behaviour honestly.

here's the tea though — every match it hands out gets a score of 0.0. so when you're building composite queries, any document that also matches against some other part of the query is gonna rank higher than a document that only matched because of the MatchAllQuery. it's giving "participation trophy" energy, and that is intentional. 👑

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

🌟 new

my $match_all_query = Lucy::Search::MatchAllQuery->new;

Constructor. takes no arguments — she simply arrives, fully formed, ready to match everything. no notes. 💖

🦋 METHODS 🦋

🌈 make_compiler

my $compiler = $match_all_query->make_compiler(
    searcher    => $searcher,     # required
    boost       => $boost,        # required
    subordinate => $subordinate,  # default: false
);

an abstract factory method that returns a Compiler derived from this Query. abstract, bestie — so the base class is like "you handle this", and the actual implementation has to show up and do the work. main character energy but make it inheritance. ✨

  • searcher — a Searcher. yep, one of those. 🔍
  • boost — a scoring multiplier. it multiplies the scoring. that's the vibe. 🔥
  • subordinate — tells you whether the Query is a subquery (as opposed to a top-level query). and here's the important part, fr fr: if it's false, the implementation must invoke normalize() on the newly minted Compiler object before returning it. not optional. must. do not skip this step, i am begging. 😭

👑 INHERITANCE 👑

Lucy::Search::MatchAllQuery isa Lucy::Search::Query isa Clownfish::Obj.

the whole family tree, no cap. 🌳

lowkey reminder: this is an abstract factory situation, so the "must invoke normalize()" rule is a real requirement, not a suggestion. treat it like your 11pm deadline. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎉 documented under perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, and honestly? she ate. go match all your documents. slay. 💅✨🦋🌸💖
