A word constraint maps to word queries; a value constraint maps to value 
queries.

Here's a simple example:

<doc>
    <title>The Cat in the Hat</title>
</doc>

If you create two constraints, a word constraint named "intitle" (specifying 
element title) and a value constraint "title" (specifying the same element, 
title), then if you query for intitle:Cat, you'll get a match; but to get a 
match using the value constraint, you'd have to query for title:"The Cat in the 
Hat".  So you choose based on the kind of query you want to do.  

Does that help?

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Difference between word and value      
constraints in search:search ?

Hello,

What's the difference between a word constraint and a value constraint in 
search:search ? When should I choose one over the other ?

Regards,
Danny
