[MarkLogic Dev General] cts:search and xdmp:save()

Hi,

I tried adding the unwildcarded option but it is still not working. I am attaching my query and the sample data on which I am running my query. Please let me know if anything can be done to bring up results containing "?" in them.

Thanks
Yashmeet

Understandable, I think. The sample code is hard to read, and won't parse or run in its current form. But Mary has powerful ESP.

Here's a test case that shows what I think Mary has in mind. Punctuation in the query text could be punctuation or could be a wildcard. Since the term is punctuation-insensitive, it is treated as a wildcard. The wildcard will be looking for a word character, not a punctuation character, the term fails to match anything. The second two forms show possible fixes: be explicit about no wildcards, or be punctuation-sensitive.

(: punctuation-insensitive, implicit wildcard :) cts:contains(
  element test { "EPL and Fixtures: Are the fixtures out?" },
  cts:element-value-query(
    xs:QName('test'),
    "EPL and Fixtures: Are the fixtures out?",
    ("case-insensitive",
     "diacritic-sensitive",
     "punctuation-insensitive",
     "unstemmed",
     "lang=en"))),
(: explicitly not a wildcard :)
cts:contains(
  element test { "EPL and Fixtures: Are the fixtures out?" },
  cts:element-value-query(
    xs:QName('test'),
    "EPL and Fixtures: Are the fixtures out?",
    ('unwildcarded',
     "case-insensitive",
     "diacritic-sensitive",
     "punctuation-insensitive",
     "unstemmed",
     "lang=en"))),
(: default wildcard, punctuation-sensitive :) cts:contains(
  element test { "EPL and Fixtures: Are the fixtures out?" },
  cts:element-value-query(
    xs:QName('test'),
    "EPL and Fixtures: Are the fixtures out?",
    ("case-insensitive",
     "diacritic-sensitive",
     "punctuation-sensitive",
     "unstemmed",
     "lang=en")))
=>
false
true
true
