[MarkLogic Dev General] effectively constraining a cts:search

[Anderson, Dr. Clifford]

I wonder if someone could suggest the most efficient way to query a set
of documents where a desired constraint exists outside the element being
queried.

 

For example, take:

 

<book>
    <title>Sample</title>
    <year>1959</year>
    <content>
        <p>some content</p>
        <p>more content</p>
    </content>
</book> 

 

How would I write an effective cts:search for "p" elements containing
the word "more," with a constraint on book documents with a "year"
element value of 1959? My goal is to bring back only p elements, not
whole book documents. I've tried to accomplish this in several ways, but
none seem very efficient. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks!
