SearchQueryWhereStep (Hibernate Search 6.0.11.Final)

Type Parameters:

N - The type of the next step, returned after a predicate is defined.

H - The type of hits for the created query.

PDF - The type of factory used to create predicates in where(Function).

LOS - The type of the initial step of the loading options definition DSL accessible through SearchQueryOptionsStep.loading(Consumer).

All Known Subinterfaces:

ElasticsearchSearchQuerySelectStep<R,E,LOS>, ElasticsearchSearchQueryWhereStep<H,LOS>, LuceneSearchQuerySelectStep<R,E,LOS>, LuceneSearchQueryWhereStep<H,LOS>, SearchQuerySelectStep<N,R,E,LOS,PJF,PDF>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDelegatingSearchQuerySelectStep, AbstractExtendedSearchQueryOptionsStep, AbstractSearchQueryOptionsStep, AbstractSearchQuerySelectStep
```
public interface SearchQueryWhereStep<N extends SearchQueryOptionsStep<?,H,LOS,?,?>,H,LOS,PDF extends SearchPredicateFactory>
```
The step in a query definition where the predicate, i.e. the "WHERE" clause, can be set.

- Method Detail
  - where
```
N where(SearchPredicate predicate)
```
    Set the predicate for this query.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicate - A SearchPredicate object obtained from the search scope.
    
    Returns:
    
    The next step.
  - where
```
N where(Function<? super PDF,? extends PredicateFinalStep> predicateContributor)
```
    Set the predicate for this query.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicateContributor - 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:
    
    The next step.
