Dear John,
I use lib-parser, not lib-search, but in case the concept is similar,
this is the conditional code block in one of our programs in which if
the user has selected "docs" as their search scope then a fielded
search becomes the default without requiring the user to know or
supply a field name:
else if ($scope = "docs") then (
(: use cts:field-word-querys and fields for document-only search :)
(: get a cts:query type from query string :)
let $cts-query := lp:get-cts-query($phrase)
(: get a cts:query element from cts:query constructor :)
let $cts-query-element := lp:serialize-cts-query($cts-query)
(: turn the cts:query element into a string :)
let $cts-query-element-string := xdmp:quote($cts-query-element)
(: replace every cts:word-query with a sequence of cts:field-word-
querys :)
let $cts-query-element-string-fields := replace(
$cts-query-element-string,
'<cts:word-query(.*?)>(.*?)</cts:word-query>',
'<cts:field-word-query $1 string-item="div_nonotes">$2</
cts:field-word-query>'
)
(: change the string back into a cts:query element :)
let $cts-query-element-fields := xdmp:unquote($cts-query-element-
string-fields)
(: convert the cts:query element into a cts:query constructor :)
let $cts-query-final := lp:deserialize-query($cts-query-element-
fields)
return $cts-query-final (: return the constructor :)
Basically, using regex the cts:word-query() is translated into a
cts:field-word-query().
This was pre-conference, and I do not know if this applies to your
case at all or is at all helpful, and I'd be interested in hearing
from others whether this method has any merit or if there is a more
direct approach.
Regards,
Shannon

I believe I'm looking for the same answer as Mike. Is there a way
to specify a field to search without requiring the user to know the
name of the field? Basically, the default search is a fielded search.

Frank did you indicate there was a way to map a search
"box" (element, field, parameter - these words are too overloaded)
to a field in the lib-search criteria, rather than requiring the
user to enter a formatted query (or munging the text of their
query)? That would be useful

It's the indicator passed in the user's query string:
myField:smith
It allows you to provide the user with a more friendly syntax.

In your example below, what does the code attribute map to?

John-
The lib-parser example mapping element is configured to specify
field-word
queries on a field called "weighted".
To use fields you sprecify, you create your own mapping element:
declare namespace lp = "http://www.marklogic.com/ps/lib/lib-parser";
(:don't
forget namespace:)
<lp:search-field-map>
<lp:mapping code="myField" field="fieldName"/>
</lp:search-field-map>
The field attribute indicates the name of the field you created in the
admin
interface.
You use this element with lib-search when you create your
search-criteria
element.

I have created a field with appropriate includes and excludes, but I
am
having difficulty figuring out how to configure lib-search to search
it.
lib-search keeps wanting to build cts:word-query() constructors rather
than a cts:field-word-query() constructor. I have looked through the
code and found the $SEARCH-FIELD-MAP in lib-parser.xqy but I'm not
sure
exactly how to use it. The example in the documentation seems to
indicate <lp:mapping /> is for searching specific elements.
Any insight you could share with lib-search and fields would be
appreciated.
