Hi Team, Below is my XML Structure - <Docs> <Doc> <DocTitle C="1"></DocTitle> <MainDesc></MainDesc> <FullDesc></FullDesc> </Doc> <Doc> <DocTitle C="2"></DocTitle> <MainDesc></MainDesc> <FullDesc></FullDesc> </Doc> ............ ............ </Docs> I have to search the Full Text DB of above documents with 3 different options - 1. Complete Document 2. Only in MainDesc (Main Description) 3. Only in FullDesc (Full Description) Below is the query, using ft:search, for the first options, mentioned above for $x in ft:search("docMaster", ("emf","waves"), map{'mode':='all words'})/ancestor::*:Doc return $x/DocTitle/text() Now, this is for the 2nd options, i.e; for MainDesc - for $x in ft:search("docMaster", ("emf","waves"), map{'mode':='all words'})/ancestor::*:Doc/MainDesc return $x/DocTitle/text() Is it right ? I am little bit confused.. -- Have a nice day JBest
