💖 Lucy::Search::NoMatchQuery 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Lucy::...hQuery(3pm) page — yes that's the manual name, it's giving cryptic but we move 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Lucy::Search::NoMatchQuery — the Query which matches no documents. literally zero. nada. the void. 💀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So NoMatchQuery is a utility class — it represents a query that matches nothing at all. not a single doc. it's the anti-slay of queries and honestly? sometimes that's exactly the vibe you need.

Typical usage, iykyk: you'd return a NoMatchQuery when a QueryParser gets asked to parse an empty string. like, you gave it nothing, so it gives you nothing back. fair trade fr fr. ✨

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

new 👑

my $no_match_query = Lucy::Search::NoMatchQuery->new;

Constructor. It takes no arguments — zero, none, it's low-maintenance, the easiest relationship you'll ever be in. 💅

---

💜 METHODS 💜

make_compiler 🔥

my $compiler = $no_match_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. very main character of it. 👑

• searcher — A Searcher.
• boost — A scoring multiplier.
• subordinate — Indicates whether the Query is a subquery (as opposed to a top-level query). If false, the implementation must invoke normalize() on the newly minted Compiler object before returning it. no skipping this step bestie, it's not optional. 😭
