http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-full-text-10/#sec-ftnot: The following expression returns true, because book elements contain "information" and "retrieval" but not "information retrieval": //book ftcontains "information" ftand "retrieval" ftand ftnot "information retrieval" This is NOT correct because the example document does NOT have "information" and "retrieval". The example document is at http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-full-text-10/#ftselections with following contents: <books> <book number="1"> <title shortTitle="Improving Web Site Usability">Improving the Usability of a Web Site Through Expert Reviews and Usability Testing</title> <author>Millicent Marigold</author> <author>Montana Marigold</author> <editor>VĂ©ra Tudor-Medina</editor> <content> <p>The usability of a Web site is how well the site supports the users in achieving specified goals. A Web site should facilitate learning, and enable efficient and effective task completion, while propagating few errors. </p> <note>This book has been approved by the Web Site Users Association. </note> </content> </book> </books>
The Full-Text Task Force has discussed the problem and created a fix for the example in question. Those changes have been made to the internal draft of the FT spec. We are therefore marking this bug FIXED. Because you were present when the decision was made, we presume that you are satisfied and are also marking the bug CLOSED.
