build

Added in API level 31
fun build(): SearchSpec

Constructs a new SearchSpec from the contents of this builder.

Return
SearchSpec This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if property weights are provided with a ranking strategy that isn't RANKING_STRATEGY_RELEVANCE_SCORE.
java.lang.IllegalStateException if the aggregation scoring strategy has been set in android.app.appsearch.JoinSpec#getAggregationScoringStrategy() but the ranking strategy is not RANKING_STRATEGY_JOIN_AGGREGATE_SCORE.

setJoinSpec

Added in API level 34
fun setJoinSpec(joinSpec: JoinSpec): SearchSpec.Builder

Specifies which documents to join with, and how to join.

If the ranking strategy is RANKING_STRATEGY_JOIN_AGGREGATE_SCORE, and the JoinSpec is null, build will throw an AppSearchException.

Parameters
joinSpec JoinSpec: a specification on how to perform the Join operation. This value cannot be null.

setListFilterHasPropertyFunctionEnabled

fun setListFilterHasPropertyFunctionEnabled(enabled: Boolean): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the LIST_FILTER_HAS_PROPERTY_FUNCTION feature as enabled/disabled according to the enabled parameter.

Parameters
enabled Boolean: Enables the feature if true, otherwise disables it

If disabled, disallows the use of the "hasProperty" function. See android.app.appsearch.AppSearchSession#search for more details about the function.

Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setListFilterQueryLanguageEnabled

Added in API level 34
fun setListFilterQueryLanguageEnabled(enabled: Boolean): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the LIST_FILTER_QUERY_LANGUAGE feature as enabled/disabled according to the enabled parameter.

Parameters
enabled Boolean: Enables the feature if true, otherwise disables it.

This feature covers the expansion of the query language to conform to the definition of the list filters language (https://aip.dev/160). This includes:

  • addition of explicit 'AND' and 'NOT' operators
  • property restricts are allowed with grouping (ex. "prop:(a OR b)")
  • addition of custom functions to control matching

The newly added custom functions covered by this feature are:

  • createList(String...)
  • termSearch(String, List)

createList takes a variable number of strings and returns a list of strings. It is for use with termSearch.

termSearch takes a query string that will be parsed according to the supported query language and an optional list of strings that specify the properties to be restricted to. This exists as a convenience for multiple property restricts. So, for example, the query "(subject:foo OR body:foo) (subject:bar OR body:bar)" could be rewritten as "termSearch(\"foo bar\", createList(\"subject\", \"bar\"))"

Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setMaxSnippetSize

Added in API level 31
fun setMaxSnippetSize(maxSnippetSize: Int): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets maxSnippetSize, the maximum snippet size. Snippet windows start at maxSnippetSize/2 bytes before the middle of the matching token and end at maxSnippetSize/2 bytes after the middle of the matching token. It respects token boundaries, therefore the returned window may be smaller than requested.

Setting maxSnippetSize to 0 will disable windowing and an empty String will be returned. If matches enabled is also set to false, then snippeting is disabled.

For example, maxSnippetSize = 16. "foo bar baz bat rat" with a query of "baz" will return a window of "bar baz bat" which is only 11 bytes long.

Parameters
maxSnippetSize Int: Value is between 0 and MAX_SNIPPET_SIZE_LIMIT inclusive
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setNumericSearchEnabled

Added in API level 34
fun setNumericSearchEnabled(enabled: Boolean): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the NUMERIC_SEARCH feature as enabled/disabled according to the enabled parameter.

Parameters
enabled Boolean: Enables the feature if true, otherwise disables it.

If disabled, disallows use of android.app.appsearch.AppSearchSchema.LongPropertyConfig#INDEXING_TYPE_RANGE and all other numeric querying features.

Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setOrder

Added in API level 31
fun setOrder(order: Int): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the order of returned search results, the default is ORDER_DESCENDING, meaning that results with higher scores come first.

This order field will be ignored if RankingStrategy = RANKING_STRATEGY_NONE.

Parameters
order Int: Value is android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#ORDER_DESCENDING, or android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#ORDER_ASCENDING
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setPropertyWeightPaths

Added in API level 34
fun setPropertyWeightPaths(
    schemaType: String,
    propertyPathWeights: MutableMap<PropertyPath!, Double!>
): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets property weights by schema type and property path.

Property weights are used to promote and demote query term matches within a GenericDocument property when applying scoring.

Property weights must be positive values (greater than 0). A property's weight is multiplied with that property's scoring contribution. This means weights set between 0.0 and 1.0 demote scoring contributions by a term match within the property. Weights set above 1.0 promote scoring contributions by a term match within the property.

Properties that exist in the AppSearchSchema, but do not have a weight explicitly set will be given a default weight of 1.0.

Weights set for property paths that do not exist in the AppSearchSchema will be discarded and not affect scoring.

NOTE: Property weights only affect scoring for query-dependent scoring strategies, such as RANKING_STRATEGY_RELEVANCE_SCORE.

Parameters
schemaType String: the schema type to set property weights for. This value cannot be null.
propertyPathWeights MutableMap<PropertyPath!, Double!>: a Map of property paths of the schema type to the weight to set for that property. This value cannot be null.
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if a weight is equal to or less than 0.0.

setPropertyWeights

Added in API level 34
fun setPropertyWeights(
    schemaType: String,
    propertyPathWeights: MutableMap<String!, Double!>
): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets property weights by schema type and property path.

Property weights are used to promote and demote query term matches within a GenericDocument property when applying scoring.

Property weights must be positive values (greater than 0). A property's weight is multiplied with that property's scoring contribution. This means weights set between 0.0 and 1.0 demote scoring contributions by a term match within the property. Weights set above 1.0 promote scoring contributions by a term match within the property.

Properties that exist in the AppSearchSchema, but do not have a weight explicitly set will be given a default weight of 1.0.

Weights set for property paths that do not exist in the AppSearchSchema will be discarded and not affect scoring.

NOTE: Property weights only affect scoring for query-dependent scoring strategies, such as RANKING_STRATEGY_RELEVANCE_SCORE.

Parameters
schemaType String: the schema type to set property weights for. This value cannot be null.
propertyPathWeights MutableMap<String!, Double!>: a Map of property paths of the schema type to the weight to set for that property. This value cannot be null.
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if a weight is equal to or less than 0.0.

setRankingStrategy

Added in API level 34
fun setRankingStrategy(advancedRankingExpression: String): SearchSpec.Builder

Enables advanced ranking to score based on advancedRankingExpression.

This method will set RankingStrategy to RANKING_STRATEGY_ADVANCED_RANKING_EXPRESSION.

The ranking expression is a mathematical expression that will be evaluated to a floating-point number of double type representing the score of each document.

Numeric literals, arithmetic operators, mathematical functions, and document-based functions are supported to build expressions.

The following are supported arithmetic operators:

  • Addition(+)
  • Subtraction(-)
  • Multiplication(*)
  • Floating Point Division(/)

Operator precedences are compliant with the Java Language, and parentheses are supported. For example, "2.2 + (3 - 4) / 2" evaluates to 1.7.

The following are supported basic mathematical functions:

  • log(x) - the natural log of x
  • log(x, y) - the log of y with base x
  • pow(x, y) - x to the power of y
  • sqrt(x)
  • abs(x)
  • sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)
  • Example: "max(abs(-100), 10) + pow(2, 10)" will be evaluated to 1124

The following variadic mathematical functions are supported, with n > 0. They also accept list value parameters. For example, if V is a value of list type, we can call sum(V) to get the sum of all the values in V. List literals are not supported, so a value of list type can only be constructed as a return value of some particular document-based functions.

  • max(v1, v2, ..., vn) or max(V)
  • min(v1, v2, ..., vn) or min(V)
  • len(v1, v2, ..., vn) or len(V)
  • sum(v1, v2, ..., vn) or sum(V)
  • avg(v1, v2, ..., vn) or avg(V)

Document-based functions must be called via "this", which represents the current document being scored. The following are supported document-based functions:

  • this.documentScore()

    Get the app-provided document score of the current document. This is the same score that is returned for RANKING_STRATEGY_DOCUMENT_SCORE.

  • this.creationTimestamp()

    Get the creation timestamp of the current document. This is the same score that is returned for RANKING_STRATEGY_CREATION_TIMESTAMP.

  • this.relevanceScore()

    Get the BM25F relevance score of the current document in relation to the query string. This is the same score that is returned for RANKING_STRATEGY_RELEVANCE_SCORE.

  • this.usageCount(type) and this.usageLastUsedTimestamp(type)

    Get the number of usages or the timestamp of last usage by type for the current document, where type must be evaluated to an integer from 1 to 2. Type 1 refers to usages reported by AppSearchSession#reportUsage, and type 2 refers to usages reported by GlobalSearchSession#reportSystemUsage.

  • this.childrenRankingSignals()

    Returns a list of children ranking signals calculated by scoring the joined documents using the ranking strategy specified in the nested SearchSpec. Currently, a document can only be a child of another document in the context of joins. If this function is called without the Join API enabled, a type error will be raised.

  • this.propertyWeights()

    Returns a list of the normalized weights of the matched properties for the current document being scored. Property weights come from what's specified in SearchSpec. After normalizing, each provided weight will be divided by the maximum weight, so that each of them will be <= 1.

Some errors may occur when using advanced ranking.

Syntax Error: the expression violates the syntax of the advanced ranking language. Below are some examples.

  • "1 + " - missing operand
  • "2 * (1 + 2))" - unbalanced parenthesis
  • "2 ^ 3" - unknown operator

Type Error: the expression fails a static type check. Below are some examples.

  • "sin(2, 3)" - wrong number of arguments for the sin function
  • "this.childrenRankingSignals() + 1" - cannot add a list with a number
  • "this.propertyWeights()" - the final type of the overall expression cannot be a list, which can be fixed by "max(this.propertyWeights())"
  • "abs(this.propertyWeights())" - the abs function does not support list type arguments
  • "print(2)" - unknown function

Evaluation Error: an error occurred while evaluating the value of the expression. Below are some examples.

  • "1 / 0", "log(0)", "1 + sqrt(-1)" - getting a non-finite value in the middle of evaluation
  • "this.usageCount(1 + 0.5)" - expect the argument to be an integer. Note that this is not a type error and "this.usageCount(1.5 + 1/2)" can succeed without any issues
  • "this.documentScore()" - in case of an IO error, this will be an evaluation error

Syntax errors and type errors will fail the entire search and will cause android.app.appsearch.SearchResults#getNextPage to throw an AppSearchException with the result code of AppSearchResult#RESULT_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

Evaluation errors will result in the offending documents receiving the default score. For ORDER_DESCENDING, the default score will be 0, for ORDER_ASCENDING the default score will be infinity.

Parameters
advancedRankingExpression String: a non-empty string representing the ranking expression. This value cannot be null.
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setResultCountPerPage

Added in API level 31
fun setResultCountPerPage(resultCountPerPage: Int): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the number of results per page in the returned object.

The default number of results per page is 10.

Parameters
resultCountPerPage Int: Value is between 0 and MAX_NUM_PER_PAGE inclusive
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setResultGrouping

Added in API level 31
fun setResultGrouping(
    groupingTypeFlags: Int,
    limit: Int
): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the maximum number of results to return for each group, where groups are defined by grouping type.

Calling this method will override any previous calls. So calling setResultGrouping(GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, 7) and then calling setResultGrouping(GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, 2) will result in only the latter, a limit of two results per package, being applied. Or calling setResultGrouping (GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, 1) and then calling setResultGrouping (GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE | GROUPING_PER_NAMESPACE, 5) will result in five results per package per namespace.

Parameters
groupingTypeFlags Int: One or more combination of grouping types. Value is either 0 or a combination of android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#GROUPING_TYPE_PER_PACKAGE, android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#GROUPING_TYPE_PER_NAMESPACE, and android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#GROUPING_TYPE_PER_SCHEMA
limit Int: Number of results to return per groupingTypeFlags.
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if groupingTypeFlags is zero.

setSearchSourceLogTag

fun setSearchSourceLogTag(searchSourceLogTag: String): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets an optional log tag to indicate the source of this search.

Some AppSearch implementations may log a hash of this tag using statsd. This tag may be used for tracing performance issues and crashes to a component of an app.

Call this method and give a unique value if you want to distinguish this search scenario with other search scenarios during performance analysis.

Under no circumstances will AppSearch log the raw String value using statsd, but it will be provided as-is to custom AppSearchLogger implementations you have registered in your app.

Parameters
searchSourceLogTag String: A String to indicate the source caller of this search. It is used to label the search statsd for performance analysis. It is not the tag we are using in android.util.Log. This value cannot be null.
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setSnippetCount

Added in API level 31
fun setSnippetCount(snippetCount: Int): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the snippetCount such that the first snippetCount documents based on the ranking strategy will have snippet information provided.

The list returned from SearchResult#getMatchInfos will contain at most this many entries.

If set to 0 (default), snippeting is disabled and the list returned from android.app.appsearch.SearchResult#getMatchInfos will be empty.

Parameters
snippetCount Int: Value is between 0 and MAX_SNIPPET_COUNT inclusive
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setSnippetCountPerProperty

Added in API level 31
fun setSnippetCountPerProperty(snippetCountPerProperty: Int): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets snippetCountPerProperty. Only the first snippetCountPerProperty snippets for each property of each GenericDocument will contain snippet information.

If set to 0, snippeting is disabled and the list returned from android.app.appsearch.SearchResult#getMatchInfos will be empty.

The default behavior is to snippet all matches a property contains, up to the maximum value of 10,000.

Parameters
snippetCountPerProperty Int: Value is between 0 and MAX_SNIPPET_PER_PROPERTY_COUNT inclusive
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setTermMatch

Added in API level 31
fun setTermMatch(termMatchType: Int): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets how the query terms should match TermMatchCode in the index.

If this method is not called, the default term match type is android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#TERM_MATCH_PREFIX.

Parameters
termMatchType Int: Value is android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#TERM_MATCH_EXACT_ONLY, or android.app.appsearch.SearchSpec#TERM_MATCH_PREFIX
Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setVerbatimSearchEnabled

Added in API level 34
fun setVerbatimSearchEnabled(enabled: Boolean): SearchSpec.Builder

Sets the VERBATIM_SEARCH feature as enabled/disabled according to the enabled parameter.

Parameters
enabled Boolean: Enables the feature if true, otherwise disables it

If disabled, disallows use of android.app.appsearch.AppSearchSchema.StringPropertyConfig#TOKENIZER_TYPE_VERBATIM and all other verbatim search features within the query language that allows clients to search using the verbatim string operator.

For example, The verbatim string operator '"foo/bar" OR baz' will ensure that 'foo/bar' is treated as a single 'verbatim' token.

Return
SearchSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.
