Document Methods

The methods of the Document class are listed below. For a complete list of Document class members, see the Document Members topic.

Public Instance Methods

Add Adds a field to a document. Several fields may be added with the same name. In this case, if the fields are indexed, their text is treated as though appended for the purposes of search. Note that add like the removeField(s) methods only makes sense prior to adding a document to an index. These methods cannot be used to change the content of an existing index! In order to achieve this, a document has to be deleted from an index and a new changed version of that document has to be added.
Equals (inherited from Object)Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
FieldsReturns an Enumeration of all the fields in a document.
GetReturns the string value of the field with the given name if any exist in this document, or null. If multiple fields exist with this name, this method returns the first value added. If only binary fields with this name exist, returns null.
GetBinaryValue Returns an array of bytes for the first (or only) field that has the name specified as the method parameter. This method will return
null
if no binary fields with the specified name are available. There may be non-binary fields with the same name.
GetBinaryValues Returns an array of byte arrays for the fields that have the name specified as the method parameter. This method returns an empty array when there are no matching fields. It never returns null.
GetBoost 
GetFieldReturns a field with the given name if any exist in this document, or null. If multiple fields exists with this name, this method returns the first value added. Do not use this method with lazy loaded fields.
GetFieldableReturns a field with the given name if any exist in this document, or null. If multiple fields exists with this name, this method returns the first value added.
GetFieldables Returns an array of {@link Fieldable}s with the given name. This method returns an empty array when there are no matching fields. It never returns null.
GetFieldsOverloaded.  
GetFieldsCountReturns the number of fields in this document
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType (inherited from Object)Gets the Type of the current instance.
GetValues Returns an array of values of the field specified as the method parameter. This method returns an empty array when there are no matching fields. It never returns null.
RemoveField Removes field with the specified name from the document. If multiple fields exist with this name, this method removes the first field that has been added. If there is no field with the specified name, the document remains unchanged. Note that the removeField(s) methods like the add method only make sense prior to adding a document to an index. These methods cannot be used to change the content of an existing index! In order to achieve this, a document has to be deleted from an index and a new changed version of that document has to be added.
RemoveFields Removes all fields with the given name from the document. If there is no field with the specified name, the document remains unchanged. Note that the removeField(s) methods like the add method only make sense prior to adding a document to an index. These methods cannot be used to change the content of an existing index! In order to achieve this, a document has to be deleted from an index and a new changed version of that document has to be added.
