Hi Chad,

One more sample code 

let $qtext := "Biology"
return
cts:search(//subj-group,
   cts:and-query((
      cts:collection-query("content"),
     cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("subj-group"), xs:QName("subj-group-type"), "heading"),
     cts:element-word-query(xs:QName("subject"), $qtext)
     )))

Hi Chad,

Please find the below sample code and I hope this will work for you sure :) 

let $qtext := "Biology"
return
cts:search(fn:collection("content")//subj-group,cts:and-query((
 cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("subj-group"), xs:QName("subj-group-type"), "heading"), cts:element-word-query(xs:QName("subject"), $qtext)
)))

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Searching elements

Hello,

 

I have a follow up question, regarding searching a specific element.

 

The suggestions provided were very helpful, but they don’t search for a specific element within a path (as far as I can tell).

 

I’m getting results, but the problem is we have multiple elements with the name of “subject”.  So the search is returning results for all elements named “subject”, rather than the specific “subject” element I’m looking for.

 

For example:

 

<subj-group subj-group-type="other">

<subject>Cell biology & molecular genetics</subject>

<subject>Crop genetics</subject>

<subject>Plant genetic resources</subject>

<subject>Production agriculture</subject>

<subject>Crop quality</subject>

</subj-group>

<subj-group subj-group-type="heading">

<subject>Beyond the Yield Curves: Exerting the Power of Genetics, Genomics, and Synthetic Biology</subject>

</subj-group>

 

I’d really only like to search and return results for the green element above.

 

I’m using the following query now and it’s searching all <subject> elements and returning them:

 

let $qtext := "Crop"

let $q := cts:and-query((cts:collection-query("content"), cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("subj-group"), xs:QName("subj-group-type"), "heading"), cts:element-word-query(xs:QName("subject"), $qtext)))

return cts:element-values(xs:QName("subject"), (), (), $q)

 

How can I restrict it to a specific path/element?

 

Thanks much!

 

-Chad

Hi Chad Bishop,

 


You can try using cts:element-values() as well to get distinct subject values based on your input,

let $qtext := "whatever search"

let $terms :=  fn:tokenize($qtext," ")

let $q := cts:and-query((

            cts:collection-query("content"),

            cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("subj-group"), xs:QName("subj-group-type"),"heading"),

            cts:element-word-query(xs:QName("subject"), $terms)

            )) 

return cts:element-values(xs:QName("subject"), (), (), $q)

If you want exact subject values, use cts:element-value-query and case-insensitive option OR cts:element-range-query 

Note - You would need to create range index for the subject to run above code.

Hi Chad,

 

For searching a specific element and returning the matching values of that element use cts:element-value-query() function. Please refer https://docs.marklogic.com/cts:element-value-query  

 

Avoid use  fn:distinct-values() function as its again a expensive in terms of performance. Use cts:values() function to get distinct terms from  a specified element. Refer https://docs.marklogic.com/cts:values

 

sample code is here :

 

cts:values(cts:path-reference("*:subject,"http://marklogic.com/collation//S2"),(),(),

cts:and-query((

cts:collection-query("content"),

cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("subj-group"), xs:QName("subj-group-type"),xs:string(heading)))))

 

 

Note : Create path range index for subject element in your database.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Searching elements

Greetings,

 

I’m wondering if someone can help with the best way to approach searching a specific element and returning the matching values of that element.

 

I figured xpath would be best so set this up:

 

let $term1 := "what"

let $term2 := "ever"

 

let $subjects := fn:collection("content")/article/front/article-meta/article-categories/subj-group[@subj-group-type = "heading"]/subject[fn:contains(., $term1) and fn:contains(., $term2)]

 

for $subject in fn:distinct-values($subjects)

return $subject

 

However, the number of terms will be variable, so I created this:

 

let $qtext := "whatever search"

let $terms :=  fn:tokenize($qtext," ")

let $contains := for $term in $terms

                 return

                  if ($term != $terms[fn:last()])

                  then fn:concat("fn:contains(., ", """", $term, """", ") and ")

                  else fn:concat("fn:contains(., ", """", $term, """", ")")

 

let $containsText := fn:string-join($contains)

 

let $subjects := fn:collection("content")/article/front/article-meta/article-categories/subj-group[@subj-group-type = "heading"]/subject[$containsText]

 

for $subject in fn:distinct-values($subjects)

return $subject

 

The problem is the $containsText isn’t evaluated as a function(s).

 

Is there a way to do that or should I be using something different?

 

Any help or advice is much appreciated,

 

-Chad
