[MarkLogic Dev General] Boosting scores based on an attribute

[Danny Sokolsky]

Perhaps you can add another query to your "or" query list looking for
the attribute value and boosting the score.  I think this will work as
long as you know the element in which the type attribute exists.  For
example:

cts:or-query((
  cts:word-query("baseball", (), 1),
  cts:element-word-query(
    (xs:QName("title"), xs:QName("head")), "baseball", (), 16
  ),
  cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("myElement"),
xs:QName("type"),
            "baseball", (), 16 )
))

If you have some content that does not match your other queries but does
match the e-a-v-query, then you would have to make some more complicated
boolean logic for this to work, but that is probably doable.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Boosting scores based on an attribute

I'm not sure if I'm going to express this correctly but I hope it's
clear.

I have a query that searches for a term.  If the term occurs in a
title or head element, the score is boosted.

cts:or-query((
  cts:word-query("baseball", (), 1),
  cts:element-word-query(
    (xs:QName("title"), xs:QName("head")), "baseball", (), 16
  )
))

If I have two documents where one has an attribute type="biography",
can I form the query to return *both* documents but boost the score up
further on the "biography" one?

This has been stewing for a few days now and I've been trying
different versions in cq, but I can't see how to put the cts:query
constructors together to do it.

Thanks for any help,
Matt
