NAME

Xapian::TermIterator - Iterate over a list of terms.

DESCRIPTION

This object represents a stream of terms. It overloads ++ for advancing the iterator, or you can explicitly call the inc method. This class also overloads eq, ne, ==, and !=.

Compatibility with Search::Xapian

Search::Xapian overloads <""> (stringification) on this class to call the get_termname method. Call get_termname directly instead.

METHODS

new

clone
inc

get_termfreq

Return the term frequency of the current term (if meaningful).

positionlist_begin

Return Xapian::PositionIterator pointing to start of positionlist for current term.

positionlist_end

Return Xapian::PositionIterator pointing to end of positionlist for current term.

get_description

Returns a string describing this object.

equal <termiterator>

Checks if a termiterator is the same as this termiterator. Also overloaded as the eq and == operators.

nequal <termiterator>
