Did you know you can use cts:contains() in an XPath expression? It accepts a cts:query so you can use all the powerful features of Mark Logic text indexes against basic XPath.
Performance tip: XPath expressions like that will cross fragments. It's a way to have a cts:and-query evaluate across fragments. It just won't be efficient if you do something like that against a large data set, so be careful. -jh- On Dec 22, 2009, at 6:24 AM, Lee, David wrote: > Thanks, yes I considered that ... but the reason I'm not using it is because > I want to use the search capibilities such as wildcarding and case > insensitivity.
