That might because of the white space in your query. Windows has problem to interpreter it correctly. Try the query without the space: "//RefTitle[contains(text(),'pAP3neo')]"
I remember this problem has been shown up in this list many times. You should be able to find it in the archive. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xindice-users&w=2&r=1&s=was+unexpected+&q=b Lixin -----Original Message----- From: Charles Guo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 11:03 AM To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: text search Thanks Lixin. I tried following 2 runs and failed to get it work. I was running on Windows.

If you have further suggestions, please let me know.
