Thanks for the explanation Mike.
I've found skipping the first result is insufficient because the input node
isn't guaranteed to be the first result. The best solution seems to be:
let $uri := '/test.xml'
return cts:search(fn:doc(), cts:and-not-query(
cts:similar-query(fn:doc($uri)),
cts:document-query($uri)
))[1 to 10]

Rob,
The behavior you describe is the behavior I would expect. If the similar-query
input node is a database document, then it will be most similar to itself. Keep
in mind that the input nodes don't have to be database documents, so it
wouldn't make sense for the server to automatically skip the first match.
However, if you do not wish to display that first document to the user, simply
skip over it and begin display from the second result.
