Hi Mike,

In what way does selecting a different range index influence the counts in this 
case? I'd say you are still selecting the same doc fragments, so I'd expect the 
counts to not change at all. Am I overlooking something? Or is the 
search:search libray really using count, and not the fragment-based 
xdmp:estimate?

Kind regards,
Geert

different searchable-expression in Search API

Will, if I can jump in.... I think your idea of using different QNames is the 
right way to look at it.

Facets are built from range indexes, and range indexes contain lists of values 
and fragment ids for a given QName. So if the query matches the fragment, the 
facet will show all the values in that fragment. In your case the fragment is 
the entire document, so you will see all the values in the matching documents, 
whether they occur under /doc or under /doc//cite. Now, you *could* create a 
fragment root on 'cite', but I think that would be counter-productive. It's 
better to use different QNames and have different range indexes.

So I think what you'd want to do is simply arrange for a different set of 
search options for doc vs cite, including both searchable expression and 
constraints. Testing for that could be as simple as a call to 
cts:contains($user-search, 'select:cite') before you call search:search(). Or 
if that might generate false positives, you could search:parse the user query 
and then look at the cts:query XML to see whether or not the parser found a 
select:cite term. If it did, then you can switch to the correct options before 
calling search:resolve.
