Hi, Can you perform a query with the boolean NOT operator? can anyuone give me examples. I have the query: //mets [ /mets/agent/name='Gul Akbar' NOT /mets/role='Administrator' ]

Check out the XPath standard: it isn't a secret! :-

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath

I think your example query would have more luck if re-phrased thus:

//mets[agent/name='Gul Akbar' and not(role='Administrator')]

Also is there any XPath that allows you to carry out phrase searching, or word
searches?

You have the contains() and starts-with() functions.
