You can configure search:suggest() to use a word lexicon as the source, which will give you words instead of phrases.
However, you should understand that word lexicons won't scale up as well as range indexes; depending on you data this may or may not be a problem for you. A field word lexicon might be a good middle ground. You could give this a try and test it to see whether you get the performance you wnat. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jakob Fix [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 9:09 AM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] search:suggest and xdmp:to-json and jquery autocomplete not a perfect match? yes, i think you're right. my question should actually have been: what options to use to retrieve just one word (not a phrase)... thanks Colleen, Jakob.
