Hi Geert, I came across element-constraint-query from the following link
http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/structured-query#id_64263 which i thought would suit my requirement to limit the search to Lab/Description. However the constraint mentioned by you behaves as a simple element-word-query. Please find the output of search:parse <cts:element-word-query qtextpre="LabDescription:" qtextref="cts:annotation" xmlns:cts="http://marklogic.com/cts";> <cts:element>Description</cts:element> <cts:annotation qtextpre=""" qtextref="following-sibling::cts:text" qtextpost="""/> <cts:text>Machine engineering</cts:text> <cts:option>wildcarded</cts:option> <cts:option>case-insensitive</cts:option> <cts:option>diacritic-insensitive</cts:option> <cts:option>unstemmed</cts:option> </cts:element-word-query> This constraint searches <Description> present not only in <Lab> but also in <Workshop>. But I want the search to be restricted to Lab/Description. Regards, Blessing.
