Hi Abishek,

Hmm, okay. Perhaps this is not the right way to do it. The first param to 
cts:search is treated in a special way. You could say that it is an unevaluated 
expression. Xdmp:value evaluates your xpath though, so the cts:search is 
receiving the actual ns:address nodes themselves, not the unevaluated 
expression. Now I see why you thought about using xdmp:unquote. Unfortunately 
that doesn't work, as you saw. I am afraid there isn't really a nice way to do 
this, other than use concat and pass the whole cts:search expression as a 
string to xdmp:value. Something like this:

let $fragment :=$node/frags[type= "ad"]/searchfrag/text()

let $expression := concat(
  'cts:search("',
 $fragment,
'", cts:and-query((cts:document-query("doc.xml"), 
((cts:element-range-query(xs:QName("ns:name"),"=","John Doe"))))),"unfiltered")'
)
let $result := xdmp:value($expression)

Kind regards,
Geert

Hello Geert thanks for your response..

So should I substitute xdmp:unquote with xdmp: value? I tried that but I get 
the following error.


XDMP-UNSEARCHABLE: cts:search(xdmp:value(text{"//ns:address"}), 
cts:or-query(cts:document-query("doc.xml"))) -- Expression is unsearchable

Is there something wrong I am doing here.. I have explained in detail below


(: this is the constants which has mapping :)
let $node :=
<list>
    <frags>
        <type>ad</type>
        <searchfrag>//ns:address</searchfrag>
    </frags>
    <frags>
        <type>phone</type>
        <searchfrag>//ns:contactnumber</searchfrag>
    </frags>
    <frags>
        <type>ins</type>
        <searchfrag>//ns:insurance</searchfrag>
    </frags>
</list>

(:I get the fragment root for ad and i notice it to have the value as 
//ns:address :)

 let $fragment :=$node/frags[type= "ad"]/searchfrag/text()

let $result :=
cts:search(xdmp:value($fragment),
cts:and-query((
cts:document-query("doc.xml"),
((cts:element-range-query(xs:QName("ns:name"),"=","John Doe"))))),'unfiltered')

as said above i get the same exception

Apologies Missed out the actual question..
 Is there a better way than the third approach that I had given?
I similar to unquote I have also tried fn:QName but no luck
Hello
I know this sounds quite simple, but I have not been able to accomplish this.
Let me consider the following eg.  I am trying to run a search on a single 
document on the fragment root

//ns:address

xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare namespace ns = "http://www.addware.com/xmlschemas/report/1";;


let $result :=
cts:search(//ns:address,
cts:and-query((
cts:document-query("doc.xml"),
((cts:element-range-query(xs:QName("ns:name"),"=","John Doe"))))),'unfiltered')

similarly based on the request if i were to run the search based on the user 
name in various fragment roots
for eg //ns:insurance  or //ns:contactnumber based on the user name can I 
parameterize the fragment root
//ns:address such that I dont have to write multiple search queries?

here is what I tried, lets say I have a metadata xml file which tells be if the 
request is for
"ad", then look for the results in the fragment roots //ns:address

if it for  "phone", then look for results in the fragament root 
//ns:contactnumber which would be returned as a xs:string
even though I read it from the metadata file, when I do an unquote it tells me 
that this is not a search able
expression.
metadata file would be like this
<list>
    <frags>
        <type>ad</type>
        <searchfrag>//ns:address</searchfrag>
    </frags>
    <frags>
        <type>phone</type>
        <searchfrag>//ns:contactnumber</searchfrag>
    </frags>
    <frags>
        <type>ins</type>
        <searchfrag>//ns:insurance</searchfrag>
    </frags>
</list>


let $result :=
cts:search(xdmp:unquote("//ns:address"),
cts:and-query((
cts:document-query("doc.xml"),
((cts:element-range-query(xs:QName("ns:name"),"=","John Doe"))))),'unfiltered')

i found an another way


let $result :=
cts:search(if($attr="ad") then //ns:address else if ($attr="phone") then 
//ns:contactnumber else //ns:insurance,
cts:and-query((
cts:document-query("doc.xml"),
((cts:element-range-query(xs:QName("ns:name"),"=","John Doe"))))),'unfiltered')



Thanks
AN
