Marklogic 8 Node.js API - phrase searches

Question

I'm trying to apply search on film titles using a structured query applied to json objects.

Let's imagine a film titled "Marius et Jeannette".

db.documents.query( qb.where( qb.word('title','Marius') )

or

db.documents.query( qb.where( qb.word('title','Marius et Jeannette') )

both give results.

but

db.documents.query( qb.where( qb.word('title','Marius Jeannette') )

does not.

Is there a way to configure a "near query" using the node.js API? I did not find anything on this subject in the doc.

Answer 1

The QueryBuilder supports the near query:

http://docs.marklogic.com/jsdoc/queryBuilder.html#near

Do you have a case where that isn't working?

Hoping that helps,

Answer 2

I believe your sample can be done with "Maruis NEAR Jeanette"

Check out the node.js string query section here under the section titled: Searching with String Queries
