If I understand correctly, you're asking how to match element-attribute-words without using an explicit query constraint? That is, you'd like q=alex to match an element-attribute like assessment/@title as well as ordinary word-query matches.
If that's right, https://docs.marklogic.com/search:search#opt-term may help. There's also some discussion of the idea at http://markmail.org/message/o67ipolmolzhm7jp In this case I think you'd end up needing to write a plugin function in XQuery (or perhaps JavaScript?) to implement your query logic. The docs have an example: <term apply="my-term-query" ns="http://custom/search"; at="/lib/custom.xqy"> <empty apply="all-results"/> </term> That refers to a function, and I don't see an example in the docs. But if it uses the same interface as a custom constraint, then it might look like this: declare function cs:my-term-query( $constraint-qtext as xs:string, $right as schema-element(cts:query)) as schema-element(cts:query) { cts:or-query( (cts:word-query(string($right//cts:text), cts:element-attribute-word-query( (xs:QName('assessment'), xs:QName('assessmentSection')), xs:QName('title'), string($right//cts:text)) )) ! document{ . }/* ! element { node-name(.) } { attribute qtextconst { concat($constraint-qtext, fn:string($right//cts:text)) }, @*, node() } }; That's untested, but it may put you on the right path. You could extend the element-attribute-word-query to handle additional element QNames and attribute QNames. -- Mike > On 11 Mar 2015, at 05:49 , <[email protected]> > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi All: > > I am seeing a below problem in Search API. > > Let’s consider the below xml.
