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

[Mike Sokolov]

Thanks to all of you for the info on how to get the field-word-query 
behavior (three different ways, I think!). 

I personally think an explicit "code" value is better (#default?) if you 
are planning to add support to lp:search-field-map.

Could any of you take this opportunity to comment on the behavior of 
cts:field-word-query() within cts:element-query?  Does this do anything 
useful?  My initial experiments seem to indicate they don't mix well, 
but I feel I must be missing something.

-Mike
