To do an exact element value match, you can do a range query using "=" as a comparator, or a cts:element-value-query with the "exact" parameter. The first uses a range index to resolve it; the latter uses a term list. The range index you have to configure by the QName; the term list is always present. The range index can compare using a collation; the term list for "exact" is just a codepoint comparison.
To do a search-style match (i.e. ignoring whitespace, punctuation, case, diacritics, etc) you'll want to use cts:element-value-query and pass the appropriate parameters on what should and shouldn't be sensitive. It'll then resolve using term lists. -jh- On Dec 16, 2010, at 9:47 AM, Tim Meagher wrote: > I understand the usefulness of range indexes in MarkLogic for getting a > unique & searchable list of values for an indexed element using lexicon > searches, but I'm not sure I understand the benefit of indexing for > non-lexicon searches using cts:search and cts:contains.
