Taco,

I will make the assumption that all these XML documents are writen as files?

As far as I am aware, you COULD verity index them, you might get some funky search 
results.

If you are dealing with large amounts of XML documents you should look into storing 
them into 
a database with good XML (Xpath, XSL) capabilities, or at the very least regex 
capabilities.

Having 1000 .xml files is generally not an efficient way of storing this data.

That should allow you to search through large amounts of XML data with more ease.
