Jason,

You'll want something like:

{
    "_id": "_design/foo",
    "views": {
        "bar": "function(doc) {if(doc.attribute) emit(doc.attribute, null);=
}"
    }
}

After saving that you can use a URL like:

http://127.0.0.1:5984/db_name/_design/foo/_view/bar?key=3Duser_input

And you'll get the list of docs that have that attribute.

HTH,
Paul Davis
