I am using hibernate search, and I want to limit my search result, I assume I need to use filters, but I have not found any documentation describing how to produce a "or" query/filter

I have two classes.

class A {
List<B> bs;
}

I have indexed based on the ids of B.

I want to limit my result to only return those instances of A where the list of Bs is part of another list.

E.g.

A1 has B1, B2, B3 in the list

A2 has B3, B4 in the list

A3 has B5 in the list

I would like to be able to limit on Bs, e.g. I want all those As which has B2 or B5, which would limit my search to A1 and A3.
If i limit to those with B5, only A3 must be returned.

I am using both search and sort, so as far as I could read I cannot use "normal" criterias to achieve this.

hi,

Have you tried using a TermQuery wrapped in a QueryWrapperFilter. You can build a normal query and then wrap it into the QueryWrapperFilter. Is this what you are after?

Well my problem is that I can't figure out how to create this term query

E.g.

new TermQuery(new Term(bs, <B2>))

This allows me to find all As which has B2 in the bs list, however, when I want to find those with EITHER B2 or B5, I dont seem to be able to do that.

Hi,

Use several TermQuerys and combine them in a BooleanQuery.

Thanks a lot,

I had tried to BooleanQuery, but used it together with other terms, which was why my Should clauses was not "required"

Thanks a lot for the tip
