[MarkLogic Dev General] Querying across multiple documets loaded into a collection

[Zegarek, Arthur]

Load 2 small xml documents into a collection, and would like to be able to 
write an xquery that scans across all documents without naming them

Example:
Doc 1 contains: 
<testreport><report><filename>abc</filename></report></testreport>
Doc 2 contains: 
<testreport><report><filename>xyz</filename></report></testreport>

Load each file as follows:
Doc 1:
xdmp:document-load("/opt/home/testreport1.xml",
<options xmlns="xdmp:document-load">
      <uri>testreport1</uri>
      <collections>
           <collection>TESTDOCS</collection>
      </collections>
    </options>)

Doc 2:
xdmp:document-load("/opt/home/testreport2.xml",
<options xmlns="xdmp:document-load">
      <uri>testreport2</uri>
      <collections>
           <collection>TESTDOCS</collection>
      </collections>
    </options>)

Run this xquery:
for $test in collection("TESTDOCS")
return
$test
Results:
<testreport><report><filename>abc</filename></report></testreport>

<testreport><report><filename>xyz</filename></report></testreport>


But run this xquery:
for $test in collection("TESTDOCS")/testreport
return
$test
Results:
Empty

Also tried with // and testreport[1]

I know this can be done, but I'm not clear on what is missing/incorrect from 
this simple example.

Thanks in advance assistance.
