Hi Danny, I am not sure if below query fits in your requirement however see if this can. You can create your search:query based on your need and also enhance $options
declare variable $OPTIONS := <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> <values name="author-path"> <range type="xs:string"> <path-index>/contrib-group/contrib[@contrib-type='author']/author-name-string</path-index> </range> </values> <return-values>true</return-values> </options> ; let $options := <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> {$OPTIONS/*} </options> let $results := search:values('author-path', $options, search:parse("John", (), "search:query")) return $results Regards, Indrajeet On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 7:37 AM, Danny Sinang <[email protected]> wrote: > I came up with the solution below. > > Maybe someone else here has a better approach. > > *let **$path* := > "/contrib-group/contrib[@contrib-type='author']/author-name-string" > > *let* *$collation* := " > http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S2"; > *let* *$options* := ("type=string", "collation=" || > *$collation*) > *let* *$ref* := *cts:path-reference*(*$path*, *$options*) > *let* *$value-matches* := *let **$matches* := > *cts:value-match* (*$ref*, *$author*) > *return* > *if* (*$matches*) *then* > *$matches* > *else* > "" > *return* > *cts:path-range-query* (*$path*, "=", > *$value-matches*, "collation=" || *$collation*) > > On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 8:39 PM, Danny Sinang <[email protected]> wrote: > >> We've got article authors stored like this : >> >> <contrib-group> >> <contrib contrib-type="author" > >> <author-name-string>John Baker, Ph.D.</ >> author-name-string> >> >> </contrib> >> <contrib contrib-type="author" > >> <author-name-string>Sarah Reynolds, Ph.D.</ >> author-name-string> >> >> </contrib> >> </contrib-group> >> >> >> And we'd like the following search strings match the first contrib node >> above : >> >> 1. john* >> >> 2. john Bak* >> >> 3. *Baker* >> >> And we'd like this search string match both both contrib nodes above : >> >> *Ph.D. >> >> >> My questions are : >> >> 1.
