Shannon, Unfortunately there is no way currently to "alias" a collection name for search constraints and display beyond the prefix attribute in the search options. There are a couple work-arounds that you might consider in the near-term:
* Write a custom constraint (<http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.1/books/search-dev-guide.pdf>, Section 2.5) that interprets your user-friendly names and turns them into collection queries for downstream consumption by the Search API. This would replace your existing collection constraint. * Create parallel "user-facing" collections on your documents that could be tied to Search API constraints. In the longer-term I've logged an RFE (1565) for this request. Any additional use cases or detail would be appreciated. Thanks and, as always, please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns. Have a great weekend.

With an extension? What would be the best practice? Or should I send an RFE to Support? TIA.
