Eric,
here is an example of using contains from an earlier posting to the list (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xindice-users&m=101472543220142&w=2):
<snip>
I search for all "names" of "things" which contain the searchstring in one of its nodes. It looks like this:
"/things/name[contains(translate(../descendant-or-self::*,'ABCDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVWXYZ=C4=D6=DC','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz���'), translate('" + searchstring + "','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ=C4=D6=DC','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz���'))]";
Case sensitive it would simply be: "/things/name[contains(../descendant-or-self::*, searchstring)]"
<snip>
Grainne.

Mark, Thanks for the reply. Would you know when the 'full text indexer' will be implimented? And, would you have any sample code for doing an XPath query with 'Contains'? Thanks again, Eric
