public interface Criteria
```
This is the parent query interface and it defines the valid operators that can be used within a search query. Provides methods that implement the fucntionality of the logical operators, and and or, and the negation operator, not. This interface combines the BaseSearchCriteria, Criteria, and DependentCriteria interfaces from CTB version 4.

- Field Detail
  - EQUALS
```
static final SearchOperator EQUALS
```
    The equals operator, similar to the SQL = operator.
  - NOT_EQUALS
```
static final SearchOperator NOT_EQUALS
```
    The not equals operator, similar to the SQL <> operator.
  - LESS_THAN
```
static final SearchOperator LESS_THAN
```
    The less than operator, similar to the SQL < operator.
  - LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO
```
static final SearchOperator LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO
```
    The less than or equal to operator, similar to the SQL <= operator.
  - GREATER_THAN
```
static final SearchOperator GREATER_THAN
```
    The greater than operator, similar to the SQL > operator.
  - GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO
```
static final SearchOperator GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO
```
    The greater than or equal to operator, similar to the SQL >= operator.
  - LIKE
```
static final SearchOperator LIKE
```
    This like operator, similar to the SQL LIKE operator.
  - NOT_LIKE
```
static final SearchOperator NOT_LIKE
```
    The not like operator, similar to the SQL NOT LIKE operator.
  - IS_NULL
```
static final UnarySearchOperator IS_NULL
```
    The is null operator, similar to the SQL IS NULL operator.
  - IS_NOT_NULL
```
static final UnarySearchOperator IS_NOT_NULL
```
    The is not null operator, similar to the SQL IS NOT NULL operator.
  - CONTAINS
```
static final SearchOperator CONTAINS
```
    The contains operator, similar to the SQL CONTAINS operator. Can only be used for data indexed by using Oracle's Intermedia Text module.
  - ANY
```
static final SetSearchOperator ANY
```
    The any set/collection operator. See SetSearchOperator for details.
  - ALL
```
static final SetSearchOperator ALL
```
    The all set/collection operator. See SetSearchOperator for details.
- Method Detail
  - equals
```
boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Implementation of the Object.equals(...) method.
    
    Criteria objects may be compared when determining whether the result for a navigational query is available. The equals method is used when such a comparison needs to be made.
    
    Criteria.equals() is guaranteed to return false if any of the following conditions hold (other reasons may exist):
    - Criteria are of different types
    - Criteria have different attributes set, use different search operators, or bind different values
    - Versioning, merge, or link behaviors are different
    - Attached criteria trees are different
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    true if equal, else false
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Implementation of the Object.hashCode() method.
    
    This method provides an equals compatable implementation hashing.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    hashcode of the object
  - newInstance
```
Criteria newInstance()
```
    Constructs a new, empty criteria instance of the same type as this criteria.
    
    Returns:
    
    new Criteria instance
