dynasearch

Dynasearch is a Java module that provides a generic implementation for full-text search on any iterable collection. It allows users to search for text in one or more properties of the items in the collection.

Features

• Perform full-text search on an iterable collection
• Search for text in one or more properties of the items
• Case-insensitive search
• Supports searching multiple terms within a property

Usage

Add this to you pom.xml inside the <dependencies>

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.splitscale</groupId>
    <artifactId>dynasearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
  </dependency>

Here's an example usage:

List<Person> people = Arrays.asList(
        new Person("John", "Doe", "Engineer"),
        new Person("Jane", "Smith", "Manager"),
        new Person("Bob", "Johnson", "Engineer"),
        new Person("Alice", "Doe", "Designer")
);

// initialize
Dynasearch<Person> dynasearch = new Dynasearch<Person>(Person.class, people);

// use
List<Person> searchResults = dynasearch.search("John");


// Print the search results
for (Person person : searchResults) {
    System.out.println(person.getFirstName() + " " + person.getLastName() + " - " + person.getJobTitle());
}

// returns
// John Doe - Engineer
// Bob Johnson - Engineer

Case Sensitivity

The search performed by Dynasearch is case-insensitive. Both the search text and the property values are converted to lowercase for comparison.
