Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] using search:parse/search:unparse and 
thsr:query-lookup/thsr:expand

Developer Forum,

I am looking to expand our users' queries using a thesaurus. We are using 
search:search with an extensive options node. I am looking to avoid having to 
recreate all parsing structures using string processing. Although string-join 
may work for simple queries, it becomes considerably more difficult when 
contending with nested sets (parenthesis), phrases (quotes, beginning and 
ending), and Boolean/other operators. Subsequently, I was hoping to use 
search:parse -> thsr:expand/thsr:query-lookup -> search:unparse. However, I am 
running into mixed-content type and annotation errors. This is basically what I 
am trying to do:

let $q := <q>"tile drainage" AND (phosphorous OR nitrogen)</q>
let $qparsed := search:parse($q,$OPTIONS)
let $qexpanded := thsr:query-lookup("/myThsrDocs/NALT3.xml",$qparsed)
let $qout := search:unparse(search:parse($qexpanded,$OPTIONS))
return $qout

Is there a way to do this?


So you don't have to see our options node, $qparsed equals
'
<cts:and-query qtextjoin="AND" strength="20" 
xmlns:cts="http://marklogic.com/cts";>
  <cts:word-query qtextpre="&quot;" qtextref="cts:text" qtextpost="&quot;">
    <cts:text>tile drainage</cts:text>
    <cts:option>punctuation-sensitive</cts:option>
    <cts:option>case-insensitive</cts:option>
    <cts:option>wildcarded</cts:option>
  </cts:word-query>
  <cts:or-query qtextjoin="OR" strength="10">
    <cts:word-query qtextref="cts:text">
      <cts:text>phosphorous</cts:text>
      <cts:option>punctuation-sensitive</cts:option>
      <cts:option>case-insensitive</cts:option>
      <cts:option>wildcarded</cts:option>
    </cts:word-query>
    <cts:word-query qtextref="cts:text">
      <cts:text>nitrogen</cts:text>
      <cts:option>punctuation-sensitive</cts:option>
      <cts:option>case-insensitive</cts:option>
      <cts:option>wildcarded</cts:option>
    </cts:word-query>
  </cts:or-query>
</cts:and-query>
'

Thank you,
Matthew
