Yes, sort of. Putting on my pedant hat for a second...

Searching for "foo" would find all immediate children of the current node,
searching for "//foo" would recursively search the entire XML document,
whatever the node was that the expression was evaluated, since any
expression that starts with a "/" will start evaluation from the nodes'
document..

If you want to just recursively recurse the children of the current node you
can do either

List children = node.selectNodes( ".//foo" );
List children = node.selectNodes( "descendant::foo" );
