Mike,
You are correct - I meant to say that DESC is a fragment root, not a
fragment parent.
The reason that I fragment is for performance. In my application, I
display a set of lines of bibliographic info (title, inventor, various
dates, etc.), one line per document. I split the document into two
pieces: bibliographic information and the main text (which is larger
than the bibliographic info).
After implementing fragmenting, the search performance is better because
I need only fetch the bibliographic info and not then entire document. I
also allow the user to sort on various columns, so if the user clicks on
a column name, I repeat the most recent search terms but request the
appropriate sort order for the returned results. I only return the first
page of results and a page tends to be in the range of 20 to 30
documents, depending on the user. It's this latter operation for which
I'm trying to improve the performance.

Dave,
One correction: the fragment root behaves the way you've described. A
fragment parent on DESC creates a new sub-fragment for every child of
DESC. That could create many more fragments than you want.
But I wonder why you decided to fragment these documents at all?

Mike,
Indexing is complete. The search element and sort element should be in the same
fragment. An abbreviated form of my XML structure is:
<PATENT>
<PATNUM>
<ASSS>
several layers down<ASSS_AESNC>
<DESC>
other stuff
All tags are unique at all levels of the XML hierarchy (e.g., PATNUM appears only at
the top level and not within<DESC>).
I have set<DESC> as a fragment parent. My understanding is that<DESC> and below
will be one fragment and everything else will be in a second fragment. In this case, ASSC_AENSC
and PATNUM shoud be in the same fragment, correct? Do I also need to set<PATENT> as a
fragment root?
In some cases,<DESC> does not exist and my guess is that it's for these cases
in which the document has a single fragment that the ordering constraint help (only
two documents in the example that I gave).
Also, I have the default namespace. However, all documents in the system have
the same XML structure, so I didn't think that there would be a problem.
What am I missing here? Thanks.
-Dave
