Hi Ruth,
A for loop iterates over each result of the in expression individually. So
$qresults always contains exactly one result, if there is any. If there are no
results, the return is never reached.
It will work better when you write it like this:
let $q := xdmp:get-request-field("wcq")
let $qresults := cts:search(doc("wcresults.xml")/wc:wcresults/wc:wcresult,
$q)
return
if ($qresults) then
for $qresult in $qresults
return
<p>{fn:string($qresult)}</p>
else
<b>No matches found.</b>
Kind regards,
Geert
