## Class CustomScoreQuery

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.Query
  - - org.apache.lucene.queries.CustomScoreQuery

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable

      public class CustomScoreQuery
      extends Query

  Query that sets document score as a programmatic function of several (sub) scores:
  1. the score of its subQuery (any query)
  2. (optional) the score of its `FunctionQuery` (or queries).
  Subclasses can modify the computation by overriding `getCustomScoreProvider(org.apache.lucene.index.AtomicReaderContext)`.
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CustomScoreQuery

          public CustomScoreQuery(Query subQuery)

      Create a CustomScoreQuery over input subQuery.
      Parameters:
        `subQuery` - the sub query whose scored is being customized. Must not be null.

    - #### CustomScoreQuery

          public CustomScoreQuery(Query subQuery,
                          Query scoringQuery)

      Create a CustomScoreQuery over input subQuery and a `FunctionQuery`.
      Parameters:
        `subQuery` - the sub query whose score is being customized. Must not be null.
        `scoringQuery` - a value source query whose scores are used in the custom score computation. This parameter is optional - it can be null.

    - #### CustomScoreQuery

          public CustomScoreQuery(Query subQuery,
                          Query... scoringQueries)

      Create a CustomScoreQuery over input subQuery and a `FunctionQuery`.
      Parameters:
        `subQuery` - the sub query whose score is being customized. Must not be null.
        `scoringQueries` - value source queries whose scores are used in the custom score computation. This parameter is optional - it can be null or even an empty array.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### rewrite

          public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
                        throws IOException

      Overrides:
        `rewrite` in class `Query`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### extractTerms

          public void extractTerms(Set<Term> terms)

      Overrides:
        `extractTerms` in class `Query`

    - #### clone

          public CustomScoreQuery clone()

      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `Query`

    - #### toString

          public String toString(String field)

      Specified by:
        `toString` in class `Query`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object o)

      Returns true if `o` is equal to this.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Query`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns a hash code value for this object.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Query`

    - #### getCustomScoreProvider

          protected CustomScoreProvider getCustomScoreProvider(AtomicReaderContext context)
                                                        throws IOException

      Returns a `CustomScoreProvider` that calculates the custom scores for the given `IndexReader`. The default implementation returns a default implementation as specified in the docs of `CustomScoreProvider`.
      Throws:
        `IOException`
      Since:
        2.9.2

    - #### createWeight

          public Weight createWeight(IndexSearcher searcher)
                              throws IOException

      Overrides:
        `createWeight` in class `Query`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### isStrict

          public boolean isStrict()

      Checks if this is strict custom scoring. In strict custom scoring, the `ValueSource` part does not participate in weight normalization. This may be useful when one wants full control over how scores are modified, and does not care about normalizing by the `ValueSource` part. One particular case where this is useful if for testing this query.

      Note: only has effect when the `ValueSource` part is not null.

    - #### setStrict

          public void setStrict(boolean strict)

      Set the strict mode of this query.
      Parameters:
        `strict` - The strict mode to set.
      See Also:
        `isStrict()`

    - #### name

          public String name()

      A short name of this query, used in `toString(String)`.
