[MarkLogic Dev General] How to make the cts::element-value-match search punctuation-insensitive?

[Tim Meagher]

Hi folks,

 

I have a query that seems to be kind of slow - it uses
cts:element-value-query() with the case-insensitive, diacritic-insensitive,
and punctuation-insensitive options.  However, I want to speed up the search
by creating a range element index on the elements of interest.  I noticed,
however, that the corresponding lexicon query would be
cts::element-value-match(), but it only provides case-insensitive and
diacritic-insensitive search options but not the punctuation-insensitive
option.  How can I make this lexicon query punctuation-insensitive?  Can I
do it by building a custom collation with the alternate characters setting
set to "avoid punctuation"?

 

Thank you!
