Hi Greg, How about declaratively building a two-dimensional boolean table (one value for each document and each find entry) and then filter those lines that only have true values? For example, it could look like the following query, provided $searchDocs and $find are defined (it can probably be simplified further): let $booleans := { for $doc at $d in $searchDocs return { for $f in $find return {count($doc/ent[@type = $f/@type]) > = $f/@count} } } for $d in 1 to count($searchDocs) where every $b in $booleans/document[@id=$d]/value satisfies xs:boolean($b) return $searchDocs[$d] Kind regards, Ghislain

Hi Folks, Every time I run an XQuery , the output has an XML declaration at the top, even if the output is not XML, e.g., The ABC Book Store The Origin of Wealth / Eric D.

In Prague it was said quite nicely: the value of standards is in its implementations (or something like that). I believe Sharon Adler was the first to mention this.
