Hi Erick,

Your attributes should be quoted to be valid XML e.g.
<BBB att="bar"> not <BBB att=bar>

<AAA id="doc1">
  <BBB att="foo">
    Text part for doc1.
  </BBB>
  <CCC/>
</AAA>

<AAA id="doc2">
  <BBB att="bar">
    Text part for doc2.
  </BBB>
  <CCC/>
</AAA>


Try this xpath:

//*[contains(BBB,'for doc2')]

or if you're only checking AAA nodes, use the more efficient XPath:

AAA[contains(BBB,'doc2')]   

Used via XPath Query service, this will match the node <AAA id="doc2">
...</AAA>

Subject: xf:contains


Hy,

I found in the W3C "XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators" ( 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/ ) a "xf:contains" function 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-contains) : is it 
implemented in the xpath parser of xindice ? If yes, can somebody give 
me the syntax of the query ?

In other words, I would like to search for documents whose text contains 
something (no really need of a fulltext search engine, but need a bit 
more than only node retrieval, based on attributes values).

Example: consider the 2 documents:

<AAA id="doc1">
  <BBB att=foo>
    Text part for doc1.
  </BBB>
  <CCC/>
</AAA>

<AAA id="doc2">
  <BBB att=bar>
    Text part for doc2.
  </BBB>
  <CCC/>
</AAA>

How can i find ' the document whose node BBB contains "for doc2" ' ?

Thanks for help,
Erick.
