The FTS query language supports query templates. These are intended to help when
building application specific searches.
A template is a query but with additional support to specify template substitution.
- %field
- Insert the parse tree for the current ftstest and replace all references to fields in the current parse tree with the supplied field.
- %(field1, field2)
- %(field1 field2)
- (The comma is optional.) Create a disjunction, and for each field, add the parse tree for the current ftstest to the disjunction, and then replace all references to fields in the current parse tree with the current field from the list.
| Name | Template | Example Query | Expanded Query |
|---|---|---|---|
| t1 | %cm:name | t1:n1 | cm:name:n1 |
| t1 | %cm:name | t1:"n1" | cm:name:"n1" |
| t1 | %cm:name | ~t1:n1^4 | ~cm:name:n1^4 |
| t2 | %(cm:name, cm:title) | t2:"woof" | (cm:name:"woof" OR cm:title:"woof") |
| t2 | %(cm:name, cm:title) | ~t2:woof^4 | (~cm:name:woof OR ~cm:title:woof)^4 |
| t3 | %cm:name AND my:boolean:true | t3:banana | (cm:name:banana AND my:boolean:true) |
Templates can refer to other templates.
