Geert - Not a question, but thank you for the suggestion. I do have another somewhat related question about using the extension hook for snippets...
I was able to get a "hello world" extension module working, but only after a very confusing error regarding the snippet namespace and a workaround. But I could be misunderstanding something. My snippet module essentially looks like this: module namespace s = "http://xyz.com/s";; ... declare function s:do-snippet( $result as node(), $ctsquery as schema-element(cts:query), $options as element(search:transform-results)? ) as element(search:snippet) { let $r := "hello world" return <search:snippet><search:match>{$r}</search:match></search:snippet> }; And I hooked into using the snippet extension in <options> using: <transform-results apply="do-snippet" ns="s" at="/my-snippet.xqm"/> However, this results in an error: 500 Internal Server Error XDMP-IMPMODNS: (err:XQST0059) Import module namespace s does not match target namespace http://xyz.com/s of imported module /my-snippet.xqm in xdmp:function(fn:QName("s", "do-snippet"), "/my-snippet.xqm") [1.0-ml] ... What eventually worked was changing my module namespace declaration to: module namespace s = "s"; I did some more testing, and as far as I can tell it insists that the namespace prefix and URI match exactly. I couldn't find anything about this in the Search API documentation - Is there a reason it won't let me declare using a full URI?

Just wanted to mention that instead of copying all libraries, you could perhaps reference the original ones partly..

I had started on my own function using the extension hooks provided by the API, but stopped short once I realized there were several other XQY scripts used by ML's implementation that would also have to be copied. I thought I would ping you guys just in case there were an easier solution. Thanks for the feedback.

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. -Danny -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Will Thompson Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 4:05 PM To: [email protected] 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?
