Hi Peter,

Yes, Fields (new in 3.2) are a good way to get the behavior you
describe. You can create a field and include the element "document" and
exclude the element "authors".  This will include everything under
documents until it gets to a descendant that is in the excluded list
("authors" in your case).  If it then encounters another included
descendant, it will include that until it finds an excluded one.

Then you can query the field with cts:field-word-query.
The Administrator's Guide has a chapter (Chapter 10, Fields Database
Settings) describing how to create a field and how the include/exclude
logic works.
Hope that helps,

Thanks for the response, I'll start to read the Administrator's guide as soon as I have upgraded our installation. However can I just confirm that having set this up I will still be able to search <document> and <authors> when I need to or will the settings permanently exclude <authors> from all searches? It's this last bit that concerns me, I only need to exclude <authors> sometimes.

I'll get on to reading the guide soon.

Thanks
