cts:element-value-query( $element-name as xs:QName*, [$text as xs:string*], [$options as xs:string*], [$weight as xs:double?] ) as cts:element-value-query
Summary
Returns a query matching elements by name with text content equal a
given phrase. cts:element-value-query only matches against
simple elements (that is, elements that contain only text and have no element
children).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| element-name | One or more element QNames to match. When multiple QNames are specified, the query matches if any QName matches. |
| text | One or more element values to match. When multiple strings are specified, the query matches if any string matches. |
| options |
Options to this query. The default is ().
Options include:
|
| weight | A weight for this query. Higher weights move search results up in the relevance order. The default is 1.0. The weight should be between 64 and -16. Weights greater than 64 will have the same effect as a weight of 64. Weights less than the absolute value of 0.0625 (between -0.0625 and 0.0625) are rounded to 0, which means that they do not contribute to the score. |
Usage Notes
If neither "case-sensitive" nor "case-insensitive" is present, $text is used to determine case sensitivity. If $text contains no uppercase, it specifies "case-insensitive". If $text contains uppercase, it specifies "case-sensitive".
If neither "diacritic-sensitive" nor "diacritic-insensitive" is present, $text is used to determine diacritic sensitivity. If $text contains no diacritics, it specifies "diacritic-insensitive". If $text contains diacritics, it specifies "diacritic-sensitive".
If neither "punctuation-sensitive" nor "punctuation-insensitive" is present, $text is used to determine punctuation sensitivity. If $text contains no punctuation, it specifies "punctuation-insensitive". If $text contains punctuation, it specifies "punctuation-sensitive".
If neither "whitespace-sensitive" nor "whitespace-insensitive" is present, the query is "whitespace-insensitive".
If neither "wildcarded" nor "unwildcarded" is present, the database configuration and $text determine wildcarding. If the database has any wildcard indexes enabled ("three character searches", "two character searches", "one character searches", or "trailing wildcard searches") and if $text contains either of the wildcard characters '?' or '*', it specifies "wildcarded". Otherwise it specifies "unwildcarded".
If neither "stemmed" nor "unstemmed" is present, the database configuration determines stemming. If the database has "stemmed searches" enabled, it specifies "stemmed". Otherwise it specifies "unstemmed". If the query is a wildcarded query and also a phrase query (contains two or more terms), the wildcard terms in the query are unstemmed.
When you use the "exact" option, you should also enable "fast case sensitive searches" and "fast diacritic sensitive searches" in your database configuration.
Negative "min-occurs" or "max-occurs" values will be treated as 0 and non-integral values will be rounded down. An error will be raised if the "min-occurs" value is greater than the "max-occurs" value.
Note that the text content for the value in a
cts:element-value-query is treated the same as a phrase in a
cts:word-query, where the phrase is the element value.
Therefore, any wildcard and/or stemming rules are treated like a phrase.
For example, if you have an element value of "hello friend" with wildcarding
enabled for a query, a cts:element-value-query for "he*" will
not match because the wildcard matches do not span word boundaries, but a
cts:element-value-query for "hello *" will match. A search
for "*" will match, because a "*" wildcard by itself is defined to match
the value. Similarly, stemming rules are applied to each term, so a
search for "hello friends" would match when stemming is enabled for the query
because "friends" matches "friend". For an example, see the
fourth example that follows.
Similarly, because a "*" wildcard by itself is defined to match
the value, the following query will match any element with the
QName my-element, regardless of the wildcard indexes enabled in
the database configuration:
cts:element-value-query(xs:QName("my-element"), "*", "wildcarded")Example
cts:search(//module,
cts:element-value-query(
xs:QName("function"),
"MarkLogic Corporation"))
=> .. relevance-ordered sequence of 'module' element
ancestors of 'function' elements whose text
content equals 'MarkLogic Corporation'.
Example
cts:search(//module,
cts:element-value-query(
xs:QName("function"),
"MarkLogic Corporation", "case-insensitive"))
=> .. relevance-ordered sequence of 'module' element
ancestors of 'function' elements whose text
content equals 'MarkLogic Corporation', or any other
case-shift like 'MARKLOGIC CorpoRation'.
Example
cts:search(//module,
cts:and-query((
cts:element-value-query(
xs:QName("function"),
"MarkLogic Corporation",
"punctuation-insensitive", 0.5),
cts:element-value-query(
xs:QName("title"),
"Word Query"))))
=> .. relevance-ordered sequence of 'module' elements
which are ancestors of both:
(a) 'function' elements with text content equal to
'MarkLogic Corporation', ignoring embedded
punctuation,
AND
(b) 'title' elements with text content equal to
'Word Query', with the results of the first sub-query
query given weight 0.5, and the results of the second
sub-query given the default weight 1.0. As a result,
the title phrase 'Word Query' counts more heavily
towards the relevance score.
Example
let $node := <my-node>hello friend</my-node>
return (
cts:contains($node, cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('my-node'),
"hello friends", "stemmed")),
cts:contains($node, cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('my-node'),
"he*", "wildcarded")),
cts:contains($node, cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('my-node'),
"hello f*", "wildcarded"))
)
=> true
false
true
