Hi Tim,

You can only search one path and it has to be "searchable".  A searchable path 
is a subset of XPath, and you can tell if it is searchable by trying it in a 
cts:search and seeing if it throws an exception.  If it does not throw an 
exception, it is searchable.

In general, you can use unions, so I think this form will work:

cts:search(/(foo | bar)//bar, "hello")

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] What is the syntax for supplying multiple 
expressiosn in cts:search?

I'd like to search multiple paths for a given query when using cts:search.  
Given one path it works fine, i.e.

cts:search(/ns1:el1, $query)

But what if I want to query in multiple paths, e.g.

cts:search((/ns1:el1, //ns2:el1), $query)

This doesn't seem to work...

Tim
