Interface ISearchFactory

public interface ISearchFactory

Factory interface to generate IPortalSearchRequest and IFilterClause.

The example below shows how to query using an AND filter clause and an OR filter clause.

        //finds all documents that have been created in the last three months
        //AND those documents whose name contains ".doc" OR ".ppt"
        IFilterClause andFilterClause = searchFactory.createAndFilterClause();
  
        //add a statement for created in the last three months
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, -3);
  
        andFilterClause.addStatement(PlumtreeField.CREATED, Operator.GreaterThan, cal.getTime());
  
        //make an OR filter clause to say we want ppt files or doc files
        IFilterClause orFilterClause = searchFactory.createOrFilterClause();
        orFilterClause.addStatement(PlumtreeField.NAME, Operator.Contains, ".ppt");
        orFilterClause.addStatement(PlumtreeField.NAME, Operator.Contains, ".doc");
        andFilterClause.addClause(orFilterClause);
  
        searchRequest.setQuery(andFilterClause);
        //note that setQuery also has an override to take a query and a filter clause.
