Thanks Fabrice and Michael. Solution (1) works great! A parting question: why not make the default behavior when querying the textual representation of a document to not “chop” away critical word boundary delimiters? So, in the example below it would return
XQuery and XPAth are awesome The munging together of "XPAth" and “are” seems counter intuitive to me.

Supposing documents are converted to their data() representation, Your query would yield the same negative answer. You should consider applying ft operators on text nodes like this : for $trial in db:open('NCT00473512')//text() (: [clinical_study/id_info/nct_id='NCT00473512'] :) return $trial[. contains text { 'neoplasms' }] Best regards, Fabrice Etanchaud *De :* [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *De la part de* Ron Katriel *Envoyé :* lundi 11 septembre 2017 00:42 *À :* BaseX *Objet :* [basex-talk] Issue with Full Text Retrieval Hi, I am seeing strange behavior with Full Text retrieval. The following query fails for a number of words that are in the XML document (see attached): for $trial in db:open('CTGovDebug') (: [clinical_study/id_info/nct_id='NCT00473512'] :) return $trial contains text { 'neoplasms' } It fails on a good number of words including neoplasms, cougar, industry, yes, completed, november, 2005, interventional, single, male, female, assignment, none, research, principal, primary, secondary, age, years, gender, etc. But it matches most of the words in the file. Observation: The words that fail are located at the beginning and/or end of the text *and* do not occur anywhere else in the middle of any text. The document is the only one in the database. It does not make a difference whether full text indexing is on or off. My BaseX version is 8.6.4.
