Hi Fabrice, Thanks a lot. How come I forgot this !!! Now my query will be - for $x in ft:search("Articles", ("electromagnetic waves"), map { 'mode':='Phrase' })/ancestor::Doc intersect ft:search("Articles", ("electromagnetic particles"), map { 'mode':='Phrase' })/ancestor::Doc return $x Again thanks a lot :) On Fri, Nov 28, 2014 at 3:11 PM, Fabrice Etanchaud <fetanchaud@questel.com> wrote:

Hi John,

What about using the intersect operator on the two result sets ?

Best regards,

Hi BaseX Team,

The subject itself is explanatory. I have following query -

ft:search("Articles", ("electromagnetic waves"), map { 'mode':='Phrase' })/ancestor::Doc return $x

This query searches for "electromagnetic waves" as a phrase. I want to search another phrase "electromagnetic particles" with the previous phrase.

List only those Articles having both these phrases.

Well… [2] was supposed to be [1], and [1] should be [2].

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

Dear John Maybe you should add the following option : map { 'mode':'all' } because ’any’ is the default.

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, Sorry, but I'll simply repeat my initial mail:

...

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.

In other words, your query…

If I modify this to my requirement it will be - ft:search("db", ("A", "B"), map {"mode": "phrase"})

…is equivalent to: ft:search("db", ("A B")) If you believe that the information in our Wiki is not clear enough and could be improved, your feedback is more than welcome (as usual, *any* edits to our Wiki are welcome). Best, Christian

for $x in ft:search("Articles", ("electromagnetic waves", "electromagnetic particles"), map { 'mode':='phrase' })/ancestor::Doc return $x

But when I execute this, I get 0 result, even though, I had 5 articles. Am I wrong ? As suggested by Fabrice, intersect results in 5.
