Hi, Blessing:
A couple of issues:
* Term options are only valid for term, word, and value queries. If you add
<debug>true</debug> to the options, you'll see that the Search API is dropping
the term options.
* I think you probably want a word constraint on an element rather than an
element query. An element query specifies an element container for nested
queries scoped to that element.
With a suitable database configuration, the following worked for me:
let $QUERY-OPTIONS := (<search:term-option>wildcarded</search:term-option>,
<search:term-option>case-insensitive</search:term-option>,
<search:term-option>diacritic-insensitive</search:term-option>,
<search:term-option>unstemmed</search:term-option>
)
let $OPTIONS := <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";>
<constraint name="Author">
<word>
<element ns="" name="Author"/>
{$QUERY-OPTIONS}
</word>
</constraint>
<page-length>1000</page-length>
<debug>true</debug>
</options>
let $query := "Author:Peter*"
return search:search($query,$OPTIONS)
Hoping that's useful,
Erik Hennum

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Issue with Wildcard search in cts:element-query
Hi,
I have records as follows
<record>
<Author>
<Name>Peter</Name>
<City>NewYork</City>
</Author>
<Editor>
<Name>Steven</Name>
<City>Virginia</City>
</Editor>
</record>
<record>
<Author>
<Name>Smith</Name>
<City>Phoenix</City>
</Author>
<Editor>
<Name>Peter Jackson</Name>
<City>Washington</City>
</Editor>
</record>
My requirement is to find Author/Name starting with "Peter*" which should
return only the first record. However the following code returns both the
record where "Peter*" is present in Editor/Name
declare variable $mynamespace := "http://some.com/mynamespace";;
declare variable $QUERY-OPTIONS :=
(<search:term-option>wildcarded</search:term-option>,
<search:term-option>case-insensitive</search:term-option>,
<search:term-option>diacritic-insensitive</search:term-option>,
<search:term-option>unstemmed</search:term-option>
);
declare variable $OPTIONS := <options
xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";>
<constraint name="Author">
<element-query ns="{$mynamespace}"
name="Author" />
{$QUERY-OPTIONS}
</constraint>,
<page-length>1000</page-length>,
</options>;
let $query := "Author:Peter*"
let $results := search:search($query,$OPTIONS)
return $results
This is the query formed
<search:report id="SEARCH-FLWOR">(cts:search(fn:collection(),
cts:element-query(xs:QName("mynamespace:Author"), cts:word-query("Peter*",
("lang=en"), 1), ()), ("score-logtfidf"), 1))[1 to 1000]</search:report>
I found this issue only with Wildcard search in cts:element-query whereas
"Author:Peter" works perfectly. Is this a known issue or do i have to modify my
implementation.
Thanks
