docid and xpath

[Alex McLintock <al...@OWAL.co.uk>]

Hi folks,

I am accessing my XIndice database through Cocoon and that seems to be 
working fine. I have a number
of reviews which unfortunately don't have any simple ids. I am using the 
Title as the id for now.

But when doing xpath queries I notice that I get back a docid in the 
collection:result object.

Is it possible to search on the docId using xpath in the same way as you 
can use the command line tools to retrieve a document by its docId

Unfortunately it's not, that information is added to the result after the 
query has already executed.
