I have an XML structure like this:
...
<p xmlns="namespace1">
<ref:anchor id="para_2"
xmlns:ref="namespace2"/>
<text>This is a bunch of text that I
want to search.</text>
</p>
...
I want to search for words (multiple terms: word1 AND word2 AND word3)
in the <text> element of the <p> elements where the <ref:anchor>@id
starts with the string "para_".
<text> elements appear elsewhere and <p> elements do to... and there
are other types of id values, such as "subpara_..."
I'm trying to use search:search and I see how to constrain to a specific
element or attribute (or collection, etc.), but how do you do more
complex things - i.e., constrain to a specific element under a specific
parent where a sibling's attribute starts with a particular string?
Hopefully I've been clear - the XPath of the element I want to search:
// p[starts-with(ref:anchor/@id, "para_")]/text
