Class SearchUtils

java.lang.Object
io.fluxcapacitor.common.SearchUtils
public class SearchUtils extends Object
Utility class for search-related functionality such as term normalization, path transformation, glob pattern matching, and primitive value extraction.

This class is used extensively during document indexing, querying, and filtering. It also includes utilities for path conversion between dot and slash notation, JSON normalization, and field escaping/unescaping.

  • Field Details

    • letterOrNumber

      public static final String letterOrNumber
      A character class used in regex patterns that includes letters and digits.

    • termPattern

      public static final Pattern termPattern
      Pattern for extracting search terms and quoted phrases from a string.

    • ISO_FULL

      public static final DateTimeFormatter ISO_FULL
      Date-time formatter used to serialize or deserialize full ISO-8601 instant values with millisecond precision.

  • Method Details

    • normalize

      public static String normalize(@NonNull @NonNull String text)
      Normalizes a string to lowercase and removes diacritics and leading/trailing whitespace.

    • normalizeJson

      public static byte[] normalizeJson(byte[] data)
      Normalizes all string values in a JSON byte array by stripping accents and lowercasing.

      This is typically used during document indexing to enable consistent full-text search.

      Parameters:
      data - a raw JSON-encoded byte array
      Returns:
      a normalized version of the input data

    • getGlobMatcher

      public static Predicate<String> getGlobMatcher(String pattern)
      Converts a standard POSIX Shell globbing pattern into a regular expression pattern. The result can be used with the standard java.util.regex API to recognize strings which match the glob pattern.

      From ...

      See also, the POSIX Shell language: ...

      Parameters:
      pattern - A glob pattern.
      Returns:
      A regex pattern to recognize the given glob pattern.

    • isInteger

      public static boolean isInteger(String fieldName)
      Checks whether the input string is a parseable integer.

    • asIntegerOrString

      public static Object asIntegerOrString(String fieldName)
      Attempts to convert a numeric string to an Integer, falling back to the original string otherwise.

    • splitInTerms

      public static List<String> splitInTerms(String query)
      Extracts quoted phrases and standalone terms from a free-form query string.
      Parameters:
      query - the raw search string
      Returns:
      a list of normalized search terms

    • asPrimitive

      public static Object asPrimitive(Object value)
      Converts any non-primitive value to its string form.

    • normalizePath

      public static String normalizePath(String queryPath)
      Replaces unescaped dots in field paths with slashes.

      This standardizes paths used in documents (e.g. a.b.c → a/b/c).

    • escapeFieldName

      public static String escapeFieldName(String fieldName)
      Escapes slashes and quotes in field names for safe indexing.

    • unescapeFieldName

      public static String unescapeFieldName(String fieldName)
      Unescapes slashes and quotes in field names.
