Hi Greg, To my knowledge it is like you say: facet counts are based on fragments, not on search results. But the lengthy explanation by Mike (over several mails) confused me a bit. I still need to reread it thoroughly.
One solution for sure is to cancel the difference between what is matched using the searchable-expression and what is stored as separate fragment. You can do that by declaring the element that you search for as a fragment root. Depending on the occurrence of that element within each document, this could have big impact, so this might not be the most wise decision. Just mentioning it as a possible option..

After reading this thread, I'm afraid I still don't understand how to circumvent the problem. When using <searchable-expression>, it appears that the search results are constrained to that expression whereas the facet counts are not. Is there a facet-related option to similarly constrain a facet to an XPath expression? I've seen references to the "fragment-frequency" option, but appears to have no effect in this context. > > Many thanks, > Greg > > Gregory Murray > Digital Library Application Developer > Princeton Theological Seminary > > > On Oct 18, 2011, at 8:30 PM, Michael Blakeley wrote: > >> Will, if I can jump in....

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. >> >> -- Mike >> >> On 18 Oct 2011, at 17:14 , Will Thompson wrote: >> >>> Micah, >>> >>> I think I may have explained poorly.

The results are correct, but the problem is that the facet counts appear to be for *both* doc and cite metadata, and thus do not change when toggling searchable-expressions via operator/state. >>> >>> This won't make any sense to our users, who will expect the facet counts to match what they think they're searching for. >>> >>> -W >>> >>> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Micah Dubinko >>> Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 6:56 PM >>> To: General MarkLogic Developer Discussion >>> Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] How to get different facet counts for different searchable-expression in Search API >>> >>> Hi Will, >>> >>> Everything you want to search exists in document fragments (not properties) right? >>> >>> What would happen if you switched in a different searchable-expression via operator and state?
