Dear John

Maybe you should add the following option :

map { 'mode':'all' }

because ’any’ is the default.

Best regards,

Fabrice

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the reply.

Using intersect, results in 5 Articles. Whereas you suggestion with -

ft:search("Articles",
    ("electromagnetic waves", "electromagnetic particles")
  )/ancestor::Doc

results in 218 Articles.

Why the difference of 213 ?

I am checking some of these additional, do they have both phrases. Will come back again.

Hi John,

You can specify more than one search string with ft:search [2]:

  ft:search("Articles",
    ("electromagnetic waves", "electromagnetic particles")
  )/ancestor::Doc

In your case, the "phrase" option is not required, because it creates
a single string from all of your search strings. Please see [1] for
more information on the search modes.

Best,
Christian
