# Ferret::Search::QueryFilter

## Summary

QueryFilter can be used to restrict one queries results by another queries results, basically "and"ing them together. Of course you could easily use a BooleanQuery to do this. The reason you may choose to use a QueryFilter is that Filter results are cached so if you have one query that is often added to other queries you may want to use a QueryFilter for performance reasons.

## Example

Let's say you have a field `:approved` which you set to yes when a document is approved for display. You'll probably want to add a Filter which filters approved documents to display to your users. This is the perfect use case for a QueryFilter.

    filter = QueryFilter.new(TermQuery.new(:approved, "yes"))

Just remember to use the same QueryFilter each time to take advantage of caching. Don't create a new one for each request. Of course, this won't work in a CGI application.

### Public Class Methods

new(query) → filter click to toggle source

Create a new QueryFilter which applies the query `query`.

    static VALUE
    frb_qf_init(VALUE self, VALUE rquery)
    {
        Query *q;
        Filter *f;
        Data_Get_Struct(rquery, Query, q);
        f = qfilt_new(q);
        Frt_Wrap_Struct(self, NULL, &frb_f_free, f);
        object_add(f, self);
        return self;
    }
