How to nest queries?

[bielu]

Hi I am writing some search abstraction, where I want to support lifti as well, but I hit issue which might be related to not finding example.

There is example of what I would like to achieve, but couldnt find any code which would suggest if that is possible

I noticed there is bracket feature but it allows only to create queries with builder, but I couldn't found way to nest queries 😕

Hi @bielu!

So am I understanding it correctly that TranslatedQuery.Value will be some sort of built LIFTI query already, or does it need further translation?

Have a look at this fiddle: https://dotnetfiddle.net/bzSwFC how does that map to your requirements?

The only thing I'd point out is that LIFTI doesn't currently support a "not contains" operator (see #94) - you could fake it by building two queries, one for the includes, one for the excludes, and then filtering out the excluded results from the first set.

hi @mikegoatly,
Yes queries are already lifti queries, I am creting them based on translations on my subqueries.
About not contains, for now I can just tag it as not supported so Not query would be skipped or i can use your workaround.
Thanks!
will close thread after i get chance to test it ;)
