      • freshness

        public final Boolean freshness()

        Indicates that this field determines how "fresh" a document is. For example, if document 1 was created on November 5, and document 2 was created on October 31, document 1 is "fresher" than document 2. Only applies to DATE fields.

        Returns:
        Indicates that this field determines how "fresh" a document is. For example, if document 1 was created on November 5, and document 2 was created on October 31, document 1 is "fresher" than document 2. Only applies to DATE fields.
      • importance

        public final Integer importance()

        The relative importance of the field in the search. Larger numbers provide more of a boost than smaller numbers.

        Returns:
        The relative importance of the field in the search. Larger numbers provide more of a boost than smaller numbers.
      • duration

        public final String duration()

        Specifies the time period that the boost applies to. For example, to make the boost apply to documents with the field value within the last month, you would use "2628000s". Once the field value is beyond the specified range, the effect of the boost drops off. The higher the importance, the faster the effect drops off. If you don't specify a value, the default is 3 months. The value of the field is a numeric string followed by the character "s", for example "86400s" for one day, or "604800s" for one week.

        Only applies to DATE fields.

        Returns:

      • rankOrder

        public final Order rankOrder()

        Determines how values should be interpreted.

        When the RankOrder field is ASCENDING, higher numbers are better. For example, a document with a rating score of 10 is higher ranking than a document with a rating score of 1.

        When the RankOrder field is DESCENDING, lower numbers are better. For example, in a task tracking application, a priority 1 task is more important than a priority 5 task.

        Only applies to LONG fields.

        If the service returns an enum value that is not available in the current SDK version, rankOrder will return Order.UNKNOWN_TO_SDK_VERSION. The raw value returned by the service is available from rankOrderAsString().

        Returns:
        Determines how values should be interpreted.

        When the RankOrder field is ASCENDING, higher numbers are better. For example, a document with a rating score of 10 is higher ranking than a document with a rating score of 1.

        When the RankOrder field is DESCENDING, lower numbers are better. For example, in a task tracking application, a priority 1 task is more important than a priority 5 task.

        Only applies to LONG fields.

      • rankOrderAsString

        public final String rankOrderAsString()

        Determines how values should be interpreted.

        When the RankOrder field is ASCENDING, higher numbers are better. For example, a document with a rating score of 10 is higher ranking than a document with a rating score of 1.

        When the RankOrder field is DESCENDING, lower numbers are better. For example, in a task tracking application, a priority 1 task is more important than a priority 5 task.

      • hasValueImportanceMap

        public final boolean hasValueImportanceMap()
        For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the ValueImportanceMap property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
      • valueImportanceMap

        public final Map<String,​Integer> valueImportanceMap()

        A list of values that should be given a different boost when they appear in the result list. For example, if you are boosting a field called "department", query terms that match the department field are boosted in the result. However, you can add entries from the department field to boost documents with those values higher.

        For example, you can add entries to the map with names of departments. If you add "HR",5 and "Legal",3 those departments are given special attention when they appear in the metadata of a document. When those terms appear they are given the specified importance instead of the regular importance for the boost.

        Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.

        This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasValueImportanceMap() method.

        Returns:
        A list of values that should be given a different boost when they appear in the result list. For example, if you are boosting a field called "department", query terms that match the department field are boosted in the result.
