Hi Christian,

When I run your script, I do get 14 elements.

When I run the following script I just get 12.

<create-db name='factbook'>https://files.basex.org/xml/factbook.xml

</create-db>

<xquery><![CDATA[

declare function local:search(

$database as xs:string,

$query as xs:string

) {

let $country-search := ft:search($database, $query)/ancestor::country

let $city-search := ft:search($database,

$query)/ancestor::city/ancestor::country

let $other-search := ft:search($database, $query)/parent::*[name() =

('ethnicgroups', 'languages')]/ancestor::country

let $country-mark := $country-search[.//name[text() contains text {

$query }]] => ft:mark()

let $city-mark := $city-search[.//city[text() contains text { $query

}]] => ft:mark()

let $other-mark := $other-search[.//*[name() = ('ethnicgroups',

'languages')][text() contains text { $query }]] => ft:mark()

return (

$country-mark,

$city-mark,

$other-mark

)

};

local:search('factbook', 'German')//mark

]]></xquery>

</commands>

When you say you can't reproduce it, do you mean you get 14 results from running this script?

Cheers,

Jack

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your observation.

The first result of this query is the entry for Austria. I would expect both of the instances of the word 'German' in that entry to be surrounded by <mark> tags. However only the first instance is.

I couldn’t reproduce this yet. Here’s a command script that returns 14 <mark>German</mark> elements:

<commands>
<set option='ftindex'>true</set>
<create-db name='factbook'>https://files.basex.org/xml/factbook.xml</create-db>
<xquery><![CDATA[
let $groups := ('ethnicgroups', 'languages')
let $database := 'factbook'
let $query := 'German'

let $search := ft:search($database, $query)/parent::*
[name() = $groups]/ancestor::country
let $marked := ft:mark(
$search[.//*[name() = $groups][text() contains text { $query }]]
)
return $marked//*[text() = 'German']
]]></xquery>
</commands>

Could you check if you get the same result?

Thanks in advance
Christian
