[MarkLogic Dev General] lib-search, Fields, andcts:field-word-query

[John Craft]

I believe I'm looking for the same answer as Mike.  Is there a way to specify a field to search without requiring the user to know the name of the field?  Basically, the default search is a fielded search.

Frank did you indicate there was a way to map a search "box" (element, field, parameter - these words are too overloaded) to a field in the lib-search criteria, rather than requiring the user to enter a formatted query (or munging the text of their query)?  That would be useful

It's the indicator passed in the user's query string:

myField:smith

It allows you to provide the user with a more friendly syntax.

In your example below, what does the code attribute map to?

John-
The lib-parser example mapping element is configured to specify
field-word
queries on a field called "weighted".

To use fields you sprecify, you create your own  mapping element:

declare namespace lp = "http://www.marklogic.com/ps/lib/lib-parser"
(:don't
forget namespace:)

<lp:search-field-map>
    <lp:mapping code="myField" field="fieldName"/>
  </lp:search-field-map>

The field attribute indicates the name of the field you created in the
admin
interface.

You use this element with lib-search when you create your
search-criteria
element.

lib-search keeps wanting to build cts:word-query() constructors rather
than a cts:field-word-query() constructor.  I have looked through the
code and found the $SEARCH-FIELD-MAP in lib-parser.xqy but I'm not
      
sure
    
exactly how to use it.  The example in the documentation seems to
indicate <lp:mapping /> is for searching specific elements.

Any insight you could share with lib-search and fields would be
appreciated.
