-A search pattern defines how search results are found. Use <code>SearchPattern.createPattern</code>
- to create a search pattern.
- <p>
- Search patterns are used during the search phase to decode index entries that were added during the indexing phase
- (see <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchDocument.html#addIndexEntry(char[], char[])"><CODE>SearchDocument.addIndexEntry(char[], char[])</CODE></A>). When an index is queried, the
- index categories and keys to consider are retrieved from the search pattern using <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchPattern.html#getIndexCategories()"><CODE>getIndexCategories()</CODE></A> and
- <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchPattern.html#getIndexKey()"><CODE>getIndexKey()</CODE></A>, as well as the match rule (see <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchPattern.html#getMatchRule()"><CODE>getMatchRule()</CODE></A>). A blank pattern is
- then created (see <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchPattern.html#getBlankPattern()"><CODE>getBlankPattern()</CODE></A>). This blank pattern is used as a record as follows.
- For each index entry in the given index categories and that starts with the given key, the blank pattern is fed using
- <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchPattern.html#decodeIndexKey(char[])"><CODE>decodeIndexKey(char[])</CODE></A>. The original pattern is then asked if it matches the decoded key using
- <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchPattern.html#matchesDecodedKey(org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.search.SearchPattern)"><CODE>matchesDecodedKey(SearchPattern)</CODE></A>. If it matches, a search doument is created for this index entry
- using <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/search/SearchParticipant.html#getDocument(java.lang.String)"><CODE>SearchParticipant.getDocument(String)</CODE></A>.
