Hi Erik,

Did you figure out how to extend the grammar?

Hi Erik,

Yes, that's is desired behavior. 

Ideally, I would like to avoid custom constraints, simply because search 
grammar looks cleaner in the search box. In addition, some of our users are 
already familiar with simple search operators like AND, OR, so BOOST won't look 
like an alien to them.

I guess a postprocessing can be used as you suggested, however I'm interested 
in custom search grammar, because I may need to extend it more in the future.

Thank you,

Hi, Oleksii:

Thanks for providing more detail.  

Just to confirm, is it clear that, in a boost query, the right-hand
term is optional?  Documents with only the left-hand term will still
appear in the results though with less relevance than documents
that have both terms.

By contrast, AND-related terms are both required and both 
contribute to relevance.

Anyway, to increase weight, one approach would be to define a tag
for a quoted phrase and pass the phrase to a Search API custom 
constraint or to cts:parse() with a binding to a query generator function:

    http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/cts_query#id_13456

The custom code could then tokenize the phrase and combine the
terms with a boost-query or and-query, adding appropriate weight.

Another approach would be to do postprocessing of the query tree
returned by cts:parse() or search:parse() to replace the default 
boost-query or and-query with a query that has more weight.

In either approach, you would then search on the query.

I mention cts:parse() because it parses query text more quickly
than search:parse()


Hoping that helps,

Erik Hennum

Hi Erik,

I'm trying to boost some parts of search query. For example, if user types 
`trade BOOST water`, I want documents with the word "water" to be higher in the 
results.
cts:boost-query seems to be a perfect fit, but the default BOOST doesn't let 
you specify weights.

My ultimate goal is to convert `trade BOOST water` to something like this:

    cts:boost-query(cts:word-query("trade"), cts:word-query("water", (), 10.0) )

Hi there,

I'm trying to declare a custom search grammar. I declared a custom function via 
search options, which supposed to parse "BOOST" keyword:

<joiner strength="2" apply="custom-boost" 
ns="http://worldbankgroup.org/search/grammar"; at="/lib/grammar-boost.xqy" 
tokenize="word">BOOST</joiner>

I declared this function and just copied existing implementation from 
impl:joiner-boost function in /MarkLogic/appservices/search/search-impl.xqy :

declare function grammar:custom-boost($ps as map:map, $left as element()?, 
$opts as element()?) as schema-element(cts:query) {
    let $symbol := impl:symbol-lookup($ps)
    let $_ := tdop:advance($ps)
    let $expr1 := tdop:expression($ps, $symbol/@strength)
    return
        if (empty($left))
        then ($left, impl:msg($ps, <cts:annotation 
warning="SEARCH-IGNOREDQTEXT:[{string($symbol)} {$expr1}]: expected two 
arguments"/>))
        else
            element { xs:QName($symbol/@element) } {
                attribute qtextjoin {concat($symbol/string())},
                attribute strength {$symbol/@strength},
                attribute qtextgroup { 
impl:opts($ps)/opt:grammar/opt:starter[@apply eq "grouping"]/(string(), 
@delimiter/string()) },
                for $opt in 
$symbol/@options/tokenize(normalize-space(.)<mailto:$symbol/@options/tokenize(normalize-space(.)>,
 "\s") return <cts:option>{$opt}</cts:option>,
                element cts:matching-query {
                    attribute qtextref { "schema-element(cts:query)" },
                    $left },
                element cts:boosting-query {
                    attribute qtextref { "schema-element(cts:query)" },
                    $expr1 }
            }
};

Unfortunately this doesn't work, because for some reason impl:symbol-lookup 
returns an empty sequence.
Any ideas what went wrong here?

Hi, Oleksii:

Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish?

There may be better ways of doing the same thing than creating a custom 
grammar, which is really a tool of last resort.

For instance, a custom constraint can map a term to a custom query.

For other cases, it's often useful to do postprocessing on the generated query.

If a custom grammar really is unavoidable, in many cases a special-purpose 
third-party parsing tool may provide a faster and more flexible alternative to 
the limited custom grammar in the Search API.

For instance, the Jison.js and Peg.js parsers work with server-side JavaScript. 
(A nearly.js parser is also available, though I've heard no reports about it 
yet.)


Hoping that helps,


Erik Hennum
