Thanks Christian for your kind reply Currently front-end not generating the search combination ( (title = "United States" or isbn = "2345371242192") and author ="Jhon" ) just i am thinking, if i could achieve this way, so that i could ask fron-end person to send this way.
As per implementation, the front-end is not going to send XPATH for any field, I am thinking to generate XPATH on the fly and concatenating it with the search query which will be sent from front-end, is it possible? The XPATH will be on assumption as per field e.g.(if user select the field author then i have to look on XPATH (*:info/*:author)[1]/*:personname) For this search ( (title = "United States" or isbn = "2345371242192") and author ="Jhon" ) how should i ask to generate the query from front-end so that combination search can be achieved. Note: I have to create REST API for this service.
