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 "" (stringification).

METHODS

new

Constructor. Defaults to a uninitialized iterator.

clone

inc

Advance the iterator by one. (Called implictly by "++" overloading)

skip_to <tname>

Skip the iterator to term tname, or the first term after tname if tname isn't in the list of terms being iterated.

get_termname

Get the name of the current term.

get_wdf

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

get_termfreq

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

positionlist_begin

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

positionlist_end

Return Search::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>

Checks if a termiterator is different from this termiterator. Also overloaded as the "ne" and "!=" operators.
