fn:matches is a text match. It doesn't accept a sequence. You'd use it for checking if 'cat' appeared in the word 'catastrophe'. As for Liens response, that's not exactly true, you'd want to make sure the item appears IN the sequence, not that it matches the sequence. Index-of will return either an index of a match, or an empty sequence, so you can use the return value for a true/false match.
