[MarkLogic Dev General] attributes vs elements

[Geert Josten]

Hi Paul,

I think that the difference will be hardly noticeable. Both cts:searches can utilize indexes, and I am certain the predicate on doc will be optimized to use indexes as well.

I do recommend using range indexes when using predicates like these..

Kind regards,
Geert
