NAME

Search::Xapian::TermIterator - Iterate over sets of terms.

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).

clone
inc

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

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.
