MatchAllPredicateOptionsStep (Hibernate Search Engine 6.0.5.Final API)

Type Parameters:

S - The "self" type (the actual exposed type of this step).

All Superinterfaces:

PredicateFinalStep, PredicateScoreStep<S>
```
public interface MatchAllPredicateOptionsStep<S extends MatchAllPredicateOptionsStep<?>>
extends PredicateFinalStep, PredicateScoreStep<S>
```
The initial and final step in "match all" predicate definition, where optional parameters can be set.

- Method Detail
  - except
```
S except(SearchPredicate searchPredicate)
```
    Add a "must not" clause based on a previously-built SearchPredicate,
    Documents matching the "must not" clause won't match the "match all" predicate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    searchPredicate - The predicate that must not match.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.
  - except
```
default S except(PredicateFinalStep dslFinalStep)
```
    Add a "must not" clause based on an almost-built SearchPredicate.
    Documents matching the "must not" clause won't match the "match all" predicate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dslFinalStep - A final step in the predicate DSL allowing the retrieval of a SearchPredicate.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.
  - except
```
S except(Function<? super SearchPredicateFactory,? extends PredicateFinalStep> clauseContributor)
```
    Add a "must not" clause to be defined by the given function.
    Best used with lambda expressions.
    Documents matching the "must not" clause won't match the "match all" predicate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    clauseContributor - A function that will use the factory passed in parameter to create a predicate, returning the final step in the predicate DSL. Should generally be a lambda expression.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for method chaining.
