The query service parses search queries and delegates work to the
|
|
|
|
|
index services.

The [index-service](../index-service) speaks a lower level query specification language
|
|
|
|
|
that is difficult to build an application out of. The query service exists as an interpreter

to that format.

## Web Interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The query service also offers a basic web interface for testing queries, or
|
|
|
|
|
running the search engine as a white-label service without all the Marginalia Search
|
|
|
|
|
specific stuff. This mode of operations is available through a `barebones` install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The web interface also offers a JSON API for machine-based queries.

This module is almost entirely boilerplate, except the [QueryBasicInterface](src/main/java/nu/marginalia/query/QueryBasicInterface.java)
|
|
|
|
|
class, which offers a REST API for querying the index.

Much of the guts of the query service are in the [query-service](../../functions/search-query)
|
|
|
|
|
module; which offers query parsing and an interface to the index service partitions.
