oneof (replacement character choice)

Use the <oneof> element to search for a word or string that contains at least one of a list of a strings.

Unlike the <anystr> element, the replacement string in the search value is restricted to a list of acceptable strings. Each acceptable string is defined by a <choice> element

The following sample query retrieves all documents that contain any word that:

Begins with "th".
Ends with "ing".
Has one of "ink", "" (an empty string), or "row" as the string between "th" and "n".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!-- oneofQuery.xml -->
<query VERSION="4.5" RESULTSPACE="oneofQuery">
    <key NAME="FullText"> 
        <elem>
            th<oneof> 
                  <choice>ink</choice> 
                  <choice></choice>
                  <choice>row</choice>
              </oneof>ing
        </elem> 
    </key> 
</query>

Note:

Only these three words will trigger the retrieval of a document: "thinking", "thing", or "throwing".
Words such as "thrashing", "thriving", or "thanking" will not trigger the retrieval of a document.

The following sample query retrieves all documents that contain any string that:

Begins with "Susan".
Ends with "Anthony".
Has " " (a space) or "B." in between "Susan" and "Anthony".

Thus, this query would retrieve documents containing "Susan B. Anthony" or "Susan Anthony" within the <Names> element.
