The default search grammar (tip: use search:default-options() to see those) uses parentheses for grouping, e.g. "(cat AND dog) OR cow". You've got square brackets, so those are being parsed as literals with your terms. I don't see the brackets in the tutorial on a quick scan...but if you can tell me which section to look in, I'll see about getting that fixed.
And for quoted phrases (which I think might also be of interest to you here), by default you use double quotes, e.g. 'title:"The Sound and The Fury" or title:"As I Lay Dying"', but you can change that if you customize the grammar in your options. --Colleen ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Timothy W.

The constraint definition is not in the search namespace (either add it to the root options node as the default namespace, or add the prefix to the constraint elements). Right. A leftover result of my poking around. :-) Also, you have brackets inside the "". Try removing the brackets. In this case I case see that they aren't needed. However, they are in the examples. In cases where I want to find ONLY an entire phrase, in an element. Wouldn't I use the brackets or single quotes to do grouping? Debug tip: turn on the debug option using <search:debug>true<search:debug>, or use search:parse to see how your query is being parsed. Great tip.

For example, it doesn't explicitly say that the options need to be wrapped in <search:options>. Anyway, the simple value example doesn't return any matches: xquery version "1.0-ml"; import module namespace search = "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search"; at "/MarkLogic/appservices/search/search.xqy"; search:search("[flavor:smoky]", <search:options> <constraint name="flavor"> <value> <element ns="http://example.com"; name="flavor-descriptor"/> </value> </constraint> </search:options>) Returns zero hits (with or without the brackets): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <search:response snippet-format="snippet" total="0" start="1" page-length="10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns="" xmlns:search="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> <search:qtext>[flavor:smoky]</search:qtext> <search:metrics> <search:query-resolution-time>PT0.006552S</search:query-resolution-time> <search:facet-resolution-time>PT0.000082S</search:facet-resolution-time> <search:snippet-resolution-time>PT0S</search:snippet-resolution-time> <search:total-time>PT0.006799S</search:total-time> </search:metrics> </search:response> There are three documents with "flavor-descriptor" = "smoky".
