That is a wildcard query. Something like:
cts:word-query("Cod*", "wildcarded")
You should have wildcard indexes enabled in your database for this. For most
applications, an excellent set of wildcard indexes are (in addition to the
default set of indexes):
three character search
word lexicon (with the collation http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint)
optionally:
word searches (this will make index resolution for wildcard queries more
accurate)
Additional good things:
word positions
three character word positions
This set of indexes will give you very good wildcard performance.
See the " Understanding and Using Wildcard Searches" Search Developer's Guide
for more details.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Prefix query
Whats the right terminology or api for ML for a "prefix query" ?
I want to search for "Cod" and have it match "Codeine" but NOT "nocode"
I'm using cts:word-query() right now ... is that even the right one ?
Is this a "Stemmed" or a "Wildcard" query ?
Thanks for any suggestions
