Class Document
Documents are the unit of indexing and search.
A Document is a set of fields. Each field has a name and a textual value. A field may be stored (IsStored) with the document, in which case it is returned with search hits on the document. Thus each document should typically contain one or more stored fields which uniquely identify it.
Note that fields which are not IsStored are
not available in documents retrieved from the index, e.g. with
Lucene.Net.Search.ScoreDoc.IntDoc or
Inheritance
Assembly: DistributedLucene.Net.dll

index, e.g. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Add(IIndexableField) | Adds a field to a document. Several fields may be added with the same name. In this case, if the fields are indexed, their text is treated as though appended for the purposes of search. Note that add like the RemoveField(String) and RemoveFields(String) methods only makes sense prior to adding a document to an index. These methods cannot be used to change the content of an existing index! In order to achieve this, a document has to be deleted from an index and a new changed version of that document has to be added. |
| Get(String) | Returns the string value of the field with the given name if any exist in
this document, or |
| GetBinaryValue(String) | Returns an array of bytes for the first (or only) field that has the name
specified as the method parameter. this method will return |
| GetBinaryValues(String) | Returns an array of byte arrays for of the fields that have the name specified
as the method parameter. This method returns an empty
array when there are no matching fields. It never
returns |
| GetEnumerator() | |
| GetField(String) | Returns a field with the given name if any exist in this document, or
|
| GetFields(String) | Returns an array of IIndexableFields with the given name.
This method returns an empty array when there are no
matching fields. It never returns |
| GetValues(String) | Returns an array of values of the field specified as the method parameter.
This method returns an empty array when there are no
matching fields. It never returns |
| RemoveField(String) | Removes field with the specified name from the document. If multiple fields exist with this name, this method removes the first field that has been added. If there is no field with the specified name, the document remains unchanged. Note that the RemoveField(String) and RemoveFields(String) methods like the add method only make sense prior to adding a document to an index. These methods cannot be used to change the content of an existing index! In order to achieve this, a document has to be deleted from an index and a new changed version of that document has to be added. |
| RemoveFields(String) | Removes all fields with the given name from the document. If there is no field with the specified name, the document remains unchanged. Note that the RemoveField(String) and RemoveFields(String) methods like the add method only make sense prior to adding a document to an index. These methods cannot be used to change the content of an existing index! In order to achieve this, a document has to be deleted from an index and a new changed version of that document has to be added. |
| ToString() | Prints the fields of a document for human consumption. |
