MarkLogic 8 - XQuery - cts:search - Change database programmatically

Question

How can I change the database that a cts:search function runs against programmatically?

Right now I'm in query console.

Answer 1

You will probably need to use xdmp:eval, which accepts an options argument, and in there you can specify the database:

xdmp:eval("cts:search(...)",  (),
   <options xmlns="xdmp:eval">
     <database>{xdmp:database("otherdb")}</database>
   </options>)
