METHODS

make_compiler

my $compiler = $no_match_query->make_compiler(
    searcher    => $searcher     # required
    boost       => $boost        # required
    subordinate => $subordinate  # default: false
);

Abstract factory method returning a Compiler derived from this Query.

• searcher - A Searcher.

• boost - A scoring multiplier.

• subordinate - Indicates whether the Query is a subquery (as opposed to a top-level query). If false, the implementation must invoke normalize() on the newly minted Compiler object before returning it.
