Struct SearchView 

pub struct SearchView { /* private fields */ }

A .rete opened for search only: the dictionary’s chunk directories, and the TEXT_INDEX / pyramid deferred behind their lazy slots. Nothing else.

What makes this cheap is skipping dictionary sections 2 and 3 (object-only and predicates) — NOT skipping the index. Measured on the published epfl-infoscience.rete (1.64 GB), a full Rete::open_ranged_lazy reads 536,947,344 B, of which the six permutation tile directories are 49,940 B in 40 reads and the dictionary is 536,896,380 B in 36 reads: the object-only chunk directory alone is 234,400,728 B, because that file stores every chunk’s first term verbatim. Files built since #198 key it by the shortest separator (~600 KB on this graph); the published one still does not, and only a rebuild changes that. This view opens sections 0 and 1 only — both search modes return subject IRIs — and costs 21,554 B in 9 reads on the same file. It also skips the index container and defers the TEXT_INDEX and pyramid, so it pays only for what it reads: the token table on the first search, then one range per posting list and per dictionary chunk holding a matched subject. This is what backs rete search-url.

Implementations

impl SearchView

pub fn open_ranged<R>(reader: R) -> Result<SearchView, FileError>

where R: RangeReader + Send + Sync + 'static,

Open for search over any RangeReader (HTTP or local): header + dictionary chunk directories only, with the text index and pyramid faulting in on first use.

pub fn header(&self) -> &Header

The file header (already fetched by open_ranged).

pub fn has_text_index(&self) -> bool

Whether the file carries a TEXT_INDEX section — a header read, no fault.

pub fn has_pyramid(&self) -> bool

Whether the file carries a pyramid (where the label index lives) — a header read, no fault.

pub fn text_search( &self, words: &[&str], prefix: Option<&str>, limit: usize, ) -> Vec<String>

Full-text search — see Rete::text_search for the semantics. Faults the token table on the first call, then only the queried postings.

pub fn text_index_token_table_len(&self) -> Option<u64>

What that first search will cost — see Rete::text_index_token_table_len. One ≤10-byte range read, so a caller can quote the figure before deciding to search.

pub fn prefix_search(&self, prefix: &str, limit: usize) -> Vec<(String, String)>

Label-prefix search — see Rete::prefix_search. Faults the pyramid (which carries the label index), so it is the pricier of the two.
