I don't know the details of N1QL, you should send questions like that to the team. As for Couchbase Lite, the iOS version supports full-text search in beta 2. > I love everything I have seen in CBL, my only rough edge has been trying to > overcome the case where I want to aggregate views with many start-end keys. > For example, tagging documents and doing a query by multiple tags.

For example if your view emits tags as keys, you can find all the documents containing any of a set of keys. If you want the intersection (docs containing all of a set of tags), that is harder Actually, full-text search could work well for that: in the map function generate the text by joining all the tags separated by spaces. Then FTS on that index will find the docs containing all of the tags. (Your search string can also contain operators like OR and NOT; see the wiki page.) The only problem I can think of is that stemming will cause some inexactitude in matching: for instance, a search for "run" could match tags like "runner" or "ran". That might be a good or a bad thing :) but it'd be easy to filter those out of the results. Another possibility is to do the union search and then programmatically filtering the output to select only the rows that contain all the keys. This might work reasonably well for your data set, though it clearly wouldn't scale to really big ones. --Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
