# KinoSearch::Search::Query(3pm)

base class for search queries

## NAME

KinoSearch::Search::Query - base class for search queries

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # abstract base class
```

## DESCRIPTION

Base class for queries to be performed against an invindex. TermQuery is one example.

## METHODS

### set\_boost get\_boost

```
    $term_query_a->set_boost(2);
    $boolean_query->add_clause( query => $term_query_a, occur => 'SHOULD' );
    $boolean_query->add_clause( query => $term_query_b, occur => 'SHOULD' );
```

The boost of any Query is 1.0 by default. Setting boost to a number greater than one increases a Query's relative contribution to a score, and setting boost to a lower number decreases the contribution.
