Hi,

I want to find if *any* document in the database matches a cts:query.

I had assumed that cts:contains() [1] would be the appropriate function to use, 
because it doesn't return any documents, and running this under the profiler, 
verses an xdmp:estimate(cts:search()) equivalent [2] shows cts:contains() to 
slightly faster, but just want to check that's the right assumption, because:

1) xdmp:query-trace() seems to indicate that everything in my query is 
searchable when using cts:contains(), but gives me a "Selected n fragments to 
filter" message, which the xdmp:estimate(cts:search()) version doesn't. It also 
doesn't mention that it's using the element-range-index, whereas the 
cts:search() version does.

2) xdmp:query-meters() shows that URIs are being returned from the cluster for 
cts:contains() but the xdmp:estimate() version doesn't show this.

3) The profiler shows a fn:collection()/ad:Audit step taking 90% of the time 
for cts;contains() but has no such step for cts:search().


That said, on 1.2 million documents, both are within 0.01S of each other, with 
cts:contains() the faster, but can someone confirm one or the other is best and 
explain why?

Cheers!

Ellis.
