# Enum Class BooleanClause.Occur

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<BooleanClause.Occur>
org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanClause.Occur

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Comparable<BooleanClause.Occur>`, `Constable`

Enclosing class:
  `BooleanClause`

public static enum BooleanClause.Occur extends Enum<BooleanClause.Occur>
Specifies how clauses are to occur in matching documents.

## Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant
Description
`FILTER`
Like `MUST` except that these clauses do not participate in scoring.
`MUST`
Use this operator for clauses that must appear in the matching documents.
`MUST_NOT`
Use this operator for clauses that must not appear in the matching documents.
`SHOULD`
Use this operator for clauses that should appear in the matching documents.

## Method Summary

Modifier and Type
Method
Description
`static BooleanClause.Occur`
`valueOf(String name)`
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
`static BooleanClause.Occur[]`
`values()`
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

## Enum Constant Details

### MUST

public static final BooleanClause.Occur MUST
Use this operator for clauses that must appear in the matching documents.

### FILTER

public static final BooleanClause.Occur FILTER
Like `MUST` except that these clauses do not participate in scoring.

### SHOULD

public static final BooleanClause.Occur SHOULD
Use this operator for clauses that should appear in the matching documents. For a BooleanQuery with no `MUST` clauses one or more `SHOULD` clauses must match a document for the BooleanQuery to match.

See Also:
  - `BooleanQuery.Builder.setMinimumNumberShouldMatch(int)`

### MUST_NOT

public static final BooleanClause.Occur MUST_NOT
Use this operator for clauses that must not appear in the matching documents. Note that it is not possible to search for queries that only consist of a `MUST_NOT` clause. These clauses do not contribute to the score of documents.

## Method Details

### values

public static BooleanClause.Occur[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:
  an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

public static BooleanClause.Occur valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
  the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
  `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
