Lucy::...rmQuery(3pm)

💖 Lucy::Search::TermQuery — the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the Lucy::...rmQuery(3pm) section of the manual (yes the name got a lil truncated, it's giving mysterious but we move 💅). Here's everything you need, no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Lucy::Search::TermQuery — a Query that matches individual terms. That's it, that's the whole thing, she's simple and she knows it 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

my $term_query = Lucy::Search::TermQuery->new(
    field => 'content',
    term  => 'foo',
);
my $hits = $searcher->hits( query => $term_query );

look at her go ✨ so clean, so iconic 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So TermQuery is a subclass of Query, and her whole job — her entire main character moment — is matching individual terms in a specific field. That's the assignment and she ate 🔥

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

new

my $term_query = Lucy::Search::TermQuery->new(
    field => 'content',    # required
    term  => 'foo',        # required
);

Creates a fresh new TermQuery. Baby's first query 🍼✨

• field — Field name. It's required, don't forget it bestie.
• term — Term text. Also required. Both of them. No skipping 🙈

---

💜 METHODS 💜

get_field

my $string = $term_query->get_field();

Accessor for the object's "field" member. Give her back the field, she gives you the string 💅

get_term

my $obj = $term_query->get_term();

Accessor for the object's "term" member. Same energy, different member 🫶

make_compiler

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

Abstract factory method returning a Compiler derived from this Query. Very "build me something and I'll take it from here" energy 🧚

• searcher — A Searcher.
• boost — A scoring multiplier. Makes numbers go up, lowkey 🔥
• subordinate — Indicates whether the Query is a subquery (as opposed to a top-level query). If it's false, the implementation must invoke normalize() on the newly minted Compiler object before returning it. Yeah, that part's a whole requirement, not a suggestion, so don't play 😭

---

🌈 INHERITANCE 🌈

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

the whole family tree, iconic lineage 👑

fr fr bestie, that's the entire page — every flag, every default, every required arg, all of it, nothing left behind 💖
