:limit

The maximum number of hits in the SearchResult, default: 10

:min_relevance

The minimum relevance in percent, default: 50

:max_docs

The maximum number of documents to be searched, default: 'unlimited'

:parser

The VQL query parser to be used, default: 'simple'

:sort_order

The sort order of the hits, a list of key-value pairs, each consisting of the sortkey and the sort direction (“asc”=ascending, “desc”=descending), default: [["score", "desc"], ["name", "asc"]]

Instance Method Details

#base_query_conditions ⇒ Object

A hash of conditions, combined to a base query by #base_query. Note that all values of the hash must be valid VQL syntax. The keys have no meaning and exist only so single conditions can be replaced in a subclass:

class SearchRequest < VeritySearchRequest
  def base_query_conditions
    super.merge(:content => '("edited" <#IN> state)'
  end
end
