RE: RE: XPath expression to perform 'keyword' query

2003-10-18 11:13:29
I still have one problem.  I can't get it to search on more 
than one keyword. 
I think this is because I'm using the contains() function like this:

contains({element content}, $keywords)

Any ideas?

You could do
  contains({element content}, $keyword1) and contains({element content}, 
$keyword2)

but of course that would only work if the number of keywords was fixed in 
advance
(unlikely).

Otherwise you'd probably have to define a recursive template to parse
$keyword.

Something like:  (untested)

 <xsl:template name="contains-keywords">
   <xsl:param name="str" select="''" />
   <xsl:param name="keywords" select="''" />
   <!-- Return '1' if the given string contains all keywords
     (space-separated strings); otherwise '0'. -->
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="$str = ''">1</xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:variable name="first-keyword" select="substring-before($keywords, ' 
')" />
       <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="contains($str, $first-keyword)">
           <xsl:call-template name="contains-keywords">
                   <xsl:with-param name="str" select="$str" />
                   <xsl:with-param name="keywords" 
select="substring-after($keywords, ' ')" />
                 </xsl:call-template>
         </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>0</xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>
