class v1_1.Types.QueryEngineDescription

Describes a query engine that can be used to search content on the node. Query engines may be general purpose or specialized for particular communities or domains.

queryEngineVersion

Type: xs.string

The version of the underlying query engine. Used by clients to determine possible compatibility concerns or features available.

querySchemaVersion

Type: xs.string

Version of the schema in use by the query engine, e.g. “1.0.1”

name

Type: xs.string

The full, human readable name of the query engine. For example: “Apache SOLR”

additionalInfo

Type: Types.NonEmptyString

An optional human readable description of the query engine. This can be used to describe any special capabilities or intended uses for the query engine. For example, a query engine may be tuned to suit a particular audience or domain as opposed to providing a general purpose discovery mechanism.

This field may also contain links to additional information about the query engine, such as documentation for the search syntax provided by the query engine implemntors.

queryField

Type: v1_1.Types.QueryField

A list of query fields supported by the query engine.
