Hi Will,
I would not modify the source directly. Instead, you can use the search API's
extension mechanism to create your own function, stored in your own environment
(ie, in your App Server root), and use the apply attribute of
search:transform-results. Then you can start by copying the code from the
search API, if you wish. The reason you should not modify the search API code
directly is that it will get overridden upon upgrade of MarkLogic Server.
For example, if you have a library called my-library.xqy in your App Server
root, you can add this option to your search:options node:
<transform-results apply="snippet" ns="my-namespace"
at="/my-library.xqy"/>
Then it will use the snippet function from your library instead of the built-in
one.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Special elements in Snippets
Hello all,
Search:snippet does almost everything I need, and in lieu of starting from
scratch with another snippet library for one feature, I'm considering modifying
the source of snippet.xqy.
I need certain elements to be passed through to the snippet without being
converted to text so they can be styled correctly when the snippet is
transformed into HTML. I also want to ignore these elements when highlighting.
Other than this the API is ideal, and it seems like a waste to start from
scratch for just one feature. Does anyone have any comments about modifying
the Search API source? Or if there is possibly a 3rd way to go about this that
I'm not considering?
Thanks,
Will Thompson
