Re: [basex-talk] Full-text index with lots of data

Thanks for the suggestion. The full-text index is apparently not being used.

It is sometimes not obvious for the query optimizer how to rewrite a query to take full advantage of an index. You could try to start with a simple version of your query, see if the optimizer is used, and enhance it step by step.. 1. //*:lastName[text() contains text 'Meric'] 2. declare namespace core="http://atira.dk/schemas/pure4/model/core/current"; //core:lastName[text() contains text 'Meric'] 3. ... Does the results returned by core:lastName contain other descendant elements [1]? Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Full-Text#Mixed_Content
