I don't want to leave you hanging, but someone from the App Services team is probably better to answer your questions which are App Builder and REST API specific. My answers were with respect to how things work "under the hood" in the server itself.

I have already gone through the search and rest-api guides. But I'm still not able to figure out a solution for my requirement. I have the an application built using app builder. I have done some customization in the application. The customization is as below: 1. When a user performs a search and clicks on the "Export" link (custom link created) in the results page, a new document is getting generated in the DB. 2. The new document created in the DB has the json query string as an entry in it. Example of the document in DB: <QueryString>{"text":"","page":1,"facets":{"city":{"constraintType":"range","noShadow":true,"value":["Paris"]}}}</QueryString> 3. Now, what I need to know is, how do I reproduce my search results by executing this json query string? 4. It is said that the json has to be converted into xml. Which is the function that I should use, json:transform-from-json() OR xdmp:from-json? 5. If I get an xml format, how do I call the search:search to perform the query. In the above example, I need to search for city:Paris. Please help.

JSON is converted to XML to perform the searches. A good start for understanding search concepts from the server perspective is : http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev JavaScript code in AppBuilder uses the REST API which under the hood uses the above. http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/rest-dev ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lee Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Phone: +1 812-482-5224<tel:%2B1%20812-482-5224> Cell: +1 812-630-7622<tel:%2B1%20812-630-7622> www.marklogic.com<http://www.marklogic.com/> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of sini narayanan Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2013 11:57 PM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Search Query Hi all, How exactly is the search happening at the backend when we search for a particular document in the application builder? Is it in json format or something else. Please calrify. In the controller.js file, I noticed that the query string formed is in json format. Is this json query converted into some other format to search the DB? If I have a json query, how do I search DB with the same. For example: If i have the json query like below, can I use the same to query the DB seperately in QC. {"text":"","page":1,"facets":{"city":{"constraintType":"range","noShadow":true,"value":["Paris"]}}} Thanks, Sini _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general
