[MarkLogic Dev General] Weightings to excluded elements

[Gajanan Chinchwadkar]

Curious to understand why you don't see the following as equivalent?

exclude an element "just a little bit"  ~  include it a lot
exclude it "a lot"  ~  include it just a bit

Word exclusion is a binary phenomenon. Either you exclude or do not. If something is excluded there is no question of putting weight on it. If one wants to exclude an element a bit, that means one wants to include it to some extent.

Rgds,

Gajanan

Hi MarkLogic,

Consider the following XQuery expression:

------------
xquery version "1.0-ml";

declare namespace f = "http://bit.ly/3aoURT";

cts:not-query(
  cts:element-word-query(
  xs:QName("f:f-type"),
  "Axxxl Fxxl",
  ("case-insensitive", "unwildcarded")
  ),
  5.00
)
------------

It appears that I can assign weights to not queries, which I think is absolutely great.

However, when dealing with the word specification in the admin system, I find that I can attach weights to included elements, but not to excluded elements. I would like to request this as a feature addition within MarkLogic. There is a simple business case for assigning weights to excluded elements.

I may wish to exclude an element "just a little bit" in which case it could have a weight of say 2, but then I may wish to exclude it "a lot" in which case I could exclude it with the full weighting of 16.0.

Regards,

Bill
