Hi, If you want to search for an element containing a particular string value, you can use cts:element-value-query, and this requires no extra indexing. Element string values are also automatically indexed. Inside MarkLogic Server is great for overall technical info like this: https://developer.marklogic.com/inside-marklogic.
You'd likely use a range index if you want to compare values (less than, greater than), or return values (all string values for a certain element), or return counts for values. And, as Raja says, a more specific question can get a more specific answer. =Chris On Fri, Jul 3, 2015 at 9:08 AM, Chunyu Cong <congchu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I understand Marklogic index words automatically. > What happens if we add range index for the string element? > > Is that never needed? > Or the range index could speed up searching on string? > > Thanks, > Chunyu > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > General@developer.marklogic.com > Manage your subscription at: > http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general > _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@developer.marklogic.com Manage your subscription at: http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general
