I'm trying to create indexers for a database of journal citations. One of the 
fields is a unique identifier called PMID. This is stored at the xpath 
/MedlineCitation/PMID. However, in other parts of the document are references 
to other articles that also have a PMID tag (lower down in the hierarchy.)

Now in the documentations, all the patterns seem to be simple element names. 
However, I don't want my PMID indexer to pickup the documents where PMID occurs 
elsewhere than directly under the root tag.

So the question is, is this a valid pattern (/MedlineCitation/PMID)? Or do I 
have to use just PMID and filter out the unwanted records later? I tried using 
this pattern and when I add documents, the indexer does not grow, which seems 
to me to mean that something is wrong with the definition.

Any help would be appreciated.
