DocumentsSearch.where

DocumentsSearch.where(
   queries as cts.query
) as DocumentsSearch

Summary

Specifies which documents to match based on the indexes over the documents.

Usage Notes

Apply this method to the output from jsearch.documents. You can optionally follow it with "clauses" such as orderBy slice, or map. Query results are not generated until you call DocumentsSearch.result.

You can construct the input queries using cts.parse, jsearch.byExample, a cts.query constructor such as cts.jsonPropertyWordQuery or cts.elementValueQuery, or any other function that returns a cts.query object.

    cts.parse('price LT 10',
              {price: cts.jsonPropertyReference('price')}),
    cts.directoryQuery('/books/')])
  .orderBy('title')
  .slice(0,3)
