Grouping without Duplicates Issues

[Wei, Alice J.]

Hi,

  I am trying to parse through a group of files through fn:collection, but I am not sure if grouped results would display wrong numbers of results after using distinct-values() because white space is taken into consideration.
  Here is my XQuery:

<booklist>
{
for $book in fn:collection("xmldb:exist://db/library")//book,
$title in $book/title,
$para in $book/p,
$note in $book/note
let $sorted_result:=
for $doc in distinct-values($book)
where distinct-values(contains($para,'hey') or contains($note,'hey'))
order by $title ascending, $para ascending
return $doc
for $r at $count in $sorted_result
let $nodes := $book[. = $r]
return
<book>
<statistics>
Showing Result: {$count} / {count($sorted_result)}
</statistics>
{$title}
{$para}
{$note}
</book>
}
</booklist>

  The odd thing is that when I run the search, it appears that it still gives me back 2 of every single result that match the query, and it also gives me 1 for every number no matter how many the total is.
  For example:

<booklist>
<book>
<statistics> Showing Result: 1 / 1</statistics>
<title type ="main"> Xquery from the Experts: <emph rend="bold">A Guide to the W3c XML Query Language</emph></head>

</book>
<book>
<statistics> Showing Result: 1 / 1</statistics>
<title type ="main"> Xquery from the Experts: <emph rend="bold">A Guide to the W3c XML Query Language</emph></head>

<note>Published 2004 by Addison-Wesley</note>
</book>
</booklist>

My desired output:

<booklist>
<book>
<statistics> Showing Result: 1 / 1</statistics>
<title type ="main"> Xquery from the Experts: <emph rend="bold">A Guide to the W3c XML Query Language</emph></head>
<p>The individual perspectives on the concepts behind the XQuery language offered by "XQuery from the Experts "will be of great value to those who

</book>
</booklist>

Does the distinct-values() supposed to be doing something else here?
Another question is, if I did were not mistaken, does not the structure of the XQuery be similar to both doc() and collection() according to XPath 2.0?

Thanks to those who can help.
