Yeah, this does work:
<cfxml variable="xmlData">
<root>
<a1>Meep</a1>
<a2>Meep</a2>
<a3>
<b1>Dink</b1>
<b2>Meep</b2>
</a3>
<a4>Blam</a4>
</root>
</cfxml>
<cfset arrNodes = XmlSearch( xmlData, "//*[ text() = 'Meep' ]" ) />
<cfdump var="#arrNodes#" />
Gets any node with value = "Meep".

Subject: RE: xpaths and regex
Brad,
You can use * for the node name, but not sure about any regular
expressions. If you are interested, I just wrote an introductory
tutorial on Xpath in XmlSearch() and I don't remember seeing anything
about RegEx as I was learning:
http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:827.view
If you are looking for a value-based node, you might be able to rock
something like:
//*[ text() = 'TARGET_TEXT' ]
Not sure if you can use Text() predicate in conjunction with a * wild
card - haven't tried it.
