Maybe, I'm a bit late with this, but. There is an ongoing effort at w3c to define a fulltext search language that could extend their xpath and xquery languages (which clearly makes sense).
These are the current documents on the topic: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xquery-full-text-20051103/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xmlquery-full-text-use-cases-20051103/ incze (This case, the query language itself is not xml, as has to serve as a selection criteria in an xpath or xquery expression, but xml conform, so may be embedded in any xml doc.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
