Spring MVC Hibernate搜索查询

Question

I am working with spring, using hibernate, maven and mysql, i'm trying to make a simple site for movies and actors. What i'd like is a search method, where you type a word, or part of a word/name and you will get some results, this is my query:

@Transactional
public List<Movie> searchForMovie(String searchText) {
    FullTextSession fullTextSession = Search.getFullTextSession(getSession());

    QueryBuilder qb = fullTextSession.getSearchFactory().buildQueryBuilder().forEntity(Movie.class).get();
    org.apache.lucene.search.Query query = qb.keyword().onFields("year", "title").matching(searchText)
            .createQuery();

    org.hibernate.Query hibQuery = fullTextSession.createFullTextQuery(query, Movie.class);

    List<Movie> results = hibQuery.list();
    return results;
}

As you can see, I am using 'keyword', this means you would have to search for the whole word/name, not only part of it. For example, if I want to find the movie 'hunger games' I would have to type 'hunger' or 'games', what I want is it to be possible to only write 'hunge' and still get results. I cant seem to find a query that will do this, thoughts?

Answer 1

You can use hibernate wildcard queries for this.

? - represents a single character
* - represents any character sequence.

Please also note that for performance purposes, it is recommended that query do not start with ? or either *.

   QueryBuilder qb = fullTextSession.getSearchFactory()
                .buildQueryBuilder().forEntity(Movie.class).get();
        org.apache.lucene.search.Query query = qb
                .keyword().wildcard().onFields("year", "title")
                .matching(searchText + "*")
                .createQuery();

Answer 2

Just change your .matching line to the following:

.matching("*"+searchText+"*")

Use wildcards to get your results in any combination you deem fit.

Hope that works for you.

You can use fuzzySearch of Hibernate Search on keyword. Your code will be like this :

QueryBuilder qb = fullTextSession.getSearchFactory()
           .buildQueryBuilder().forEntity(Movie.class).get();

         org.apache.lucene.search.Query query = qb
           .keyword().fuzzy().withEditDistanceUpTo(1).withPrefixLength(1).onFields("year","title")
           .matching(searchText)
           .createQuery();

See hibernate docs for complete reference.
