You might want to look at field queries. They allow you to define which elements to include and exclude within a defined fragment. You can also weight each included element.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Scott Gurney Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 3:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Excluding a node from search Is there a way to exclude specific nodes from a search using search:search? I need to be able to search documents, but exclude a particular element (and every other node within that element) from the search. I have tried adding an additional query in the search options as shown below: <additional-query> { cts:not-query( cts:element-query(xs:QName("tei:note"), "*") ) } </additional-query> but this ends up excluding all documents that contain tei:note elements. Here is a simple example to further illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish. Given the xml below: <first>First element <second>Second element</second> <excludeMe>Exclude element</excludeMe> </second> </first I want to search for the string "element" and only find the first and second element text nodes. The <excludeMe> node should be absent from the search results. What else can I try?
