Detailed Description

Boolean weighting scheme (everything gets 0).


Member Function Documentation

BoolWeight* Xapian::BoolWeight::clone (  )  const [virtual]

Return a new weight object of this type.

A subclass called FooWeight taking parameters param1 and param2 should implement this as:

virtual FooWeight * clone() const { return new FooWeight(param1, param2); }

Implements Xapian::Weight.

std::string Xapian::BoolWeight::name (  )  const [virtual]

Name of the weighting scheme.

If the subclass is called FooWeight, this should return "Foo".

Implements Xapian::Weight.

std::string Xapian::BoolWeight::serialise (  )  const [virtual]

Serialise object parameters into a string.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

BoolWeight* Xapian::BoolWeight::unserialise ( const std::string &  s  )  const [virtual]

Create object given string serialisation returned by serialise().

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Xapian::weight Xapian::BoolWeight::get_sumpart ( Xapian::termcount  wdf,
Xapian::doclength  len 
) const [virtual]

Get a weight which is part of the sum over terms being performed.

This returns a weight for a given term and document. These weights are summed to give a total weight for the document.

Parameters:
wdf the within document frequency of the term.
len the (unnormalised) document length.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Xapian::weight Xapian::BoolWeight::get_maxpart (  )  const [virtual]

Gets the maximum value that get_sumpart() may return.

This is used in optimising searches, by having the postlist tree decay appropriately when parts of it can have limited, or no, further effect.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Xapian::weight Xapian::BoolWeight::get_sumextra ( Xapian::doclength  len  )  const [virtual]

Get an extra weight for a document to add to the sum calculated over the query terms.

This returns a weight for a given document, and is used by some weighting schemes to account for influence such as document length.

Parameters:
len the (unnormalised) document length.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

Xapian::weight Xapian::BoolWeight::get_maxextra (  )  const [virtual]

Gets the maximum value that get_sumextra() may return.

This is used in optimising searches.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

bool Xapian::BoolWeight::get_sumpart_needs_doclength (  )  const [virtual]

return false if the weight object doesn't need doclength
