Overview

Package search provides a client for App Engine's search service.

Indexes contains documents, and a document's contents are a mapping from case- sensitive field names to values. In Go, documents are represented by struct pointers, and the valid types for a struct's fields are:

  • string,
  • search.Atom,
  • search.HTML,
  • time.Time (stored with millisecond precision),
  • float64 (value between -2,147,483,647 and 2,147,483,647 inclusive),
  • appengine.GeoPoint.

Documents can also be represented by any type implementing the FieldLoadSaver interface.

Example code: 

type Doc struct {
	Author   string
	Comment  string
	Creation time.Time
}

index, err := search.Open("comments")
if err != nil {
	return err
}
newID, err := index.Put(c, "", &Doc{
	Author:   "gopher",
	Comment:  "the truth of the matter",
	Creation: time.Now(),
})
if err != nil {
	return err
}

Searching an index for a query will result in an iterator. As with an iterator from package datastore, pass a destination struct to Next to decode the next result. Next will return Done when the iterator is exhausted. 

for t := index.Search(c, "Comment:truth", nil); ; {
	var doc Doc
	id, err := t.Next(&doc)
	if err == search.Done {
		break
	}
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "%s -> %#v\n", id, doc)
}

Call List to iterate over documents. 

for t := index.List(c, nil); ; {
	var doc Doc
	id, err := t.Next(&doc)
	if err == search.Done {
		break
	}
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "%s -> %#v\n", id, doc)
}

A single document can also be retrieved by its ID. Pass a destination struct to Get to hold the resulting document. 

var doc Doc
err := index.Get(c, id, &doc)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

Queries are expressed as strings, plus some optional parameters. The query language is described at https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/search/query_strings

Note that in Go, field names come from the struct field definition and begin with an upper case letter.

	// ErrInvalidDocumentType is returned when methods like Put, Get or Next
	// are passed a dst or src argument of invalid type.
	ErrInvalidDocumentType = errors.New("search: invalid document type")

	// ErrNoSuchDocument is returned when no document was found for a given ID.
	ErrNoSuchDocument = errors.New("search: no such document")

Functions

func LoadStruct 

func LoadStruct(dst interface{}, f []Field) error

LoadStruct loads the fields from f to dst. dst must be a struct pointer.

Types

type Atom 

type Atom string

Atom is a document field whose contents are indexed as a single indivisible string.

type DocumentMetadata 

type DocumentMetadata struct {
	// Rank is an integer specifying the order the document will be returned in
	// search results. If zero, the rank will be set to the number of seconds since
	// 2011-01-01 00:00:00 UTC when being Put into an index.
	Rank int
}

DocumentMetadata is a struct containing information describing a given document.

type ErrFieldMismatch 

type ErrFieldMismatch struct {
	FieldName string
	Reason    string
}

ErrFieldMismatch is returned when a field is to be loaded into a different than the one it was stored from, or when a field is missing or unexported in the destination struct.

func (*ErrFieldMismatch) Error 

func (e *ErrFieldMismatch) Error() string

type Field 

type Field struct {
	// Name is the field name.
	Name string
	// Value is the field value. The valid types are:
	//  - string,
	//  - search.Atom,
	//  - search.HTML,
	//  - time.Time (stored with millisecond precision),
	//  - float64,
	//  - GeoPoint.
	Value interface{}
	// Language is a two-letter ISO 693-1 code for the field's language,
	// defaulting to "en" if nothing is specified. It may only be specified for
	// fields of type string and search.HTML.
	Language string
	// Derived marks fields that were calculated as a result of a
	// FieldExpression provided to Search. This field is ignored when saving a
	// document.
	Derived bool
}

Field is a name/value pair. A search index's document can be loaded and saved as a sequence of Fields.

func SaveStruct 

func SaveStruct(src interface{}) ([]Field, error)

SaveStruct returns the fields from src as a slice of Field. src must be a struct pointer.

type FieldExpression 

type FieldExpression struct {
	// Name is the name to use for the computed field.
	Name string

	// Expr is evaluated to provide a custom content snippet for each document.
	// See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/search/options for
	// the supported expression syntax.
	Expr string
}

FieldExpression defines a custom expression to evaluate for each result.

type FieldList 

type FieldList []Field

FieldList converts a []Field to implement FieldLoadSaver.

func (*FieldList) Load 

func (l *FieldList) Load(f []Field, _ *DocumentMetadata) error

Load loads all of the provided fields into l. It does not first reset *l to an empty slice.

func (*FieldList) Save 

func (l *FieldList) Save() ([]Field, *DocumentMetadata, error)

Save returns all of l's fields as a slice of Fields.

type FieldLoadSaver 

type FieldLoadSaver interface {
	Load([]Field, *DocumentMetadata) error
	Save() ([]Field, *DocumentMetadata, error)
}

FieldLoadSaver can be converted from and to a slice of Fields with additional document metadata.

type HTML 

type HTML string

HTML is a document field whose contents are indexed as HTML. Only text nodes are indexed: "foo<b>bar" will be treated as "foobar".

type Index 

type Index struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Index is an index of documents.

func Open 

func Open(name string) (*Index, error)

Open opens the index with the given name. The index is created if it does not already exist.

The name is a human-readable ASCII string. It must contain no whitespace characters and not start with "!".

func (*Index) Delete 

func (x *Index) Delete(c appengine.Context, id string) error

Delete deletes a document from the index.

func (*Index) Get 

func (x *Index) Get(c appengine.Context, id string, dst interface{}) error

Get loads the document with the given ID into dst.

The ID is a human-readable ASCII string. It must be non-empty, contain no whitespace characters and not start with "!".

dst must be a non-nil struct pointer or implement the FieldLoadSaver interface.

ErrFieldMismatch is returned when a field is to be loaded into a different type than the one it was stored from, or when a field is missing or unexported in the destination struct. ErrFieldMismatch is only returned if dst is a struct pointer. It is up to the callee to decide whether this error is fatal, recoverable, or ignorable.

func (*Index) List 

func (x *Index) List(c appengine.Context, opts *ListOptions) *Iterator

List lists all of the documents in an index. The documents are returned in increasing ID order.

func (*Index) Put 

func (x *Index) Put(c appengine.Context, id string, src interface{}) (string, error)

Put saves src to the index. If id is empty, a new ID is allocated by the service and returned. If id is not empty, any existing index entry for that ID is replaced.

The ID is a human-readable ASCII string. It must contain no whitespace characters and not start with "!".

src must be a non-nil struct pointer or implement the FieldLoadSaver interface.

func (*Index) Search 

func (x *Index) Search(c appengine.Context, query string, opts *SearchOptions) *Iterator

Search searches the index for the given query.

type Iterator 

type Iterator struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Iterator is the result of searching an index for a query or listing an index.

func (*Iterator) Count 

func (t *Iterator) Count() int

Count returns an approximation of the number of documents matched by the query. It is only valid to call for iterators returned by Search.

func (*Iterator) Next 

func (t *Iterator) Next(dst interface{}) (string, error)

Next returns the ID of the next result. When there are no more results, Done is returned as the error.

dst must be a non-nil struct pointer, implement the FieldLoadSaver interface, or be a nil interface value. If a non-nil dst is provided, it will be filled with the indexed fields. dst is ignored if this iterator was created with an IDsOnly option.

type ListOptions 

type ListOptions struct {
	// StartID is the inclusive lower bound for the ID of the returned
	// documents. The zero value means all documents will be returned.
	StartID string

	// Limit is the maximum number of documents to return. The zero value
	// indicates no limit.
	Limit int

	// IDsOnly indicates that only document IDs should be returned for the list
	// operation; no document fields are populated.
	IDsOnly bool
}

ListOptions are the options for listing documents in an index. Passing a nil *ListOptions is equivalent to using the default values.

type Scorer 

type Scorer interface {
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

A Scorer defines how a document is scored. 

var (
	// MatchScorer assigns a score based on term frequency in a document.
	MatchScorer Scorer = enumScorer{pb.ScorerSpec_MATCH_SCORER}

	// RescoringMatchScorer assigns a score based on the quality of the query
	// match. It is similar to a MatchScorer but uses a more complex scoring
	// algorithm based on match term frequency and other factors like field type.
	// Please be aware that this algorithm is continually refined and can change
	// over time without notice. This means that the ordering of search results
	// that use this scorer can also change without notice.
	RescoringMatchScorer Scorer = enumScorer{pb.ScorerSpec_RESCORING_MATCH_SCORER}
)

type SearchOptions 

type SearchOptions struct {
	// Limit is the maximum number of documents to return. The zero value
	// indicates no limit.
	Limit int

	// IDsOnly indicates that only document IDs should be returned for the search
	// operation; no document fields are populated.
	IDsOnly bool

	// Sort controls the ordering of search results.
	Sort *SortOptions

	// Fields specifies which document fields to include in the results. If omitted,
	// all document fields are returned. No more than 100 fields may be specified.
	Fields []string

	// Expressions specifies additional computed fields to add to each returned
	// document.
	Expressions []FieldExpression
}

SearchOptions are the options for searching an index. Passing a nil *SearchOptions is equivalent to using the default values.

type SortExpression 

type SortExpression struct {
	// Expr is evaluated to provide a sorting value for each document.
	// See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/go/search/options for
	// the supported expression syntax.
	Expr string

	// Reverse causes the documents to be sorted in ascending order.
	Reverse bool

	// The default value to use when no field is present or the expresion
	// cannot be calculated for a document. For text sorts, Default must
	// be of type string; for numeric sorts, float64.
	Default interface{}
}

SortExpression defines a single dimension for sorting a document.

type SortOptions 

type SortOptions struct {
	// Expressions is a slice of expressions representing a multi-dimensional
	// sort.
	Expressions []SortExpression

	// Scorer, when specified, will cause the documents to be scored according to
	// search term frequency.
	Scorer Scorer

	// Limit is the maximum number of objects to score and/or sort. Limit cannot
	// be more than 10,000. The zero value indicates a default limit.
	Limit int
}

SortOptions control the ordering and scoring of search results.
