Eric,
Tom Bradford is the one working on the full text indexer.   You will have
to check with him to see what his time-frame is for delivery.   As far as the
"contains", it is part of the XPath Query.   Try:

 http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XPathTutorial/General/examples.html

for a good introduction to XPath Queries.   Also, check out
the W3C XPath definition.   My code is designed around
attribute searching, not text.   Maybe someone has a sample, I
don't know what is available in the docs.

HTH,
Mark
