is it possible to include collections in XPath statements?
The behavior of XPath in Xindice is that any XPath query can be performed against a single document or all of the documents in the collection that it is executed against. Overall, if the collection is properly indexed, this is actually not an expensive operation. You don't explicitly specify the collection in your XPath query, as all queries in Xindice are performed against a context collection using the XML:DB APIs. The only limitation is that XPath queries can't extend across multiple collections.
