Yes, under "alternate characters" select "Ignore punctuation". If the
collation builder does not allow you to specify what you want, you can just use
the rules in the doc to create a URI that is exactly what you want. A good way
to test the collation URI is to use cq and write a small program that declares
a default collation and then does some string comparison. For example, using
the collation builder I built a case and diacritic-insensitive, plus ignore
punctuation collation and then I tried the following:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare default collation
"http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S1/T00BB/AS";;
"foo, bar" eq "foo bar"
(: return true :)

There's an explicit option for a punctuation-sensitive index in the collation
builder, but not for a punctuation-insensitive index. If not specified, is it
implicitly punctuation-insensitive? If not implicit, then does one need to
adjust the alternate character settings?

Yes, build a range index with a case-insensitive, diacritic-insensitive,
punctuation-insensitive collation. You can look in the "Encodings and
Collations" chapter of the Search Developer's guide to figure out the collation
URI, or you can use the little widget in the Admin Interface to build the right
collation URI (which will probably be easier...). The widget is in a couple of
places (I think on the database config page and on the App Server config
page)-it is called "collation builder".

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] How to make the cts::element-value-match
search punctuation-insensitive?
Hi folks,
I have a query that seems to be kind of slow - it uses
cts:element-value-query() with the case-insensitive, diacritic-insensitive, and
punctuation-insensitive options. However, I want to speed up the search by
creating a range element index on the elements of interest. I noticed,
however, that the corresponding lexicon query would be
cts::element-value-match(), but it only provides case-insensitive and
diacritic-insensitive search options but not the punctuation-insensitive
option. How can I make this lexicon query punctuation-insensitive? Can I do
it by building a custom collation with the alternate characters setting set to
"avoid punctuation"?
Thank you!
