Support for all Tantivy query methods

[theblackcat102]

Will there be support for other query method such as PhraseQuery, FuzzyTermQuery, RangeQuery?

I don't have any plans to work on this myself, at least not for now.

Contributions of course are always welcome.

Hi,

How to contribute then ?
I don't see python code in the repo.

fuzzy matching absence is a no go for using tantivy in python even though tantivy seems very powerful.

Many thanks,
Guillaume

Hi guys!
I'd like to contribute to this issue. For a good starter, I've already opened #175. ;) Could anyone review it?

[cjrh]

#175 has been merged. I think either we should have a checklist of remaining query methods on this issue, or we create new separate enhancement issues for each of the remaining ones. Which is better?

There are several Query classes in Tantivy.
https://docs.rs/tantivy/latest/tantivy/query/trait.Query.html#impl-Query-for-Box%3Cdyn+Query%3E

I think having a checklist is a great idea on this issue.

I made a simple checklist to support all Tantivy queries (I don't have permission to edit the issue description.)

• AllQuery (Expose tantivy's AllQuery #230)
• BooleanQuery (Expose the method of boolean query #243)
• BoostQuery (Expose boost query #250)
• ConstScoreQuery (Expose const score query #256)
• DisjunctionMaxQuery (Expose Tantivy's DisjunctionMaxQuery #244)
• EmptyQuery
• FuzzyTermQuery (Expose Tantivy's FuzzyTermQuery #233)
• MoreLikeThisQuery (Expose Tantivy's MoreLikeThisQuery #257)
• PhrasePrefixQuery
• PhraseQuery (Expose Tantivy's PhraseQuery #234)
• RangeQuery
• RegexQuery (expose regex query #241)
• TermQuery (Expose tantivy's TermQuery #175)

Looks like FuzzyTermQuery has been implemented, but not available in the current release on PyPI. Curious if this project has a cadence for releases. Thanks!

Hi @imaurer, we don't have a set cadence of releases unfortunately. @wallies does our releases, I'm sure he'll get around to it within the next week or two.

@cjrh @imaurer I was hoping tantivy would publish a new release so will could pull in some upstream fixes as well. I'll make a release within the next few days

I just submitted a PR that exposes DisjunctionMaxQuery. Hopefully, someone can review and it can make it to the next release as well.

BTW, thanks for this great library!
