Hello, I have a problem to search a certain word in XML but in general. I mean, we can search the word without choose the category first.

I have already run this Xpath successfully. Here is my Xpath:
path="form/document[contains(type, '<%= request.Form("txtSearch")%>')]//*";

But this Xpath only search for "type" only.

Does anyone know how if I want to search a certain word in the whole element/node of XML file? Can show me the sample of code?

Thanks

Here is my Xpath:

path="form/document[contains(type, '<%= request.Form("txtSearch")%>')]//*";

Let's be clear. That is not an XPath expression. It is (ASP|JSP|PHP)-like code for generating an XPath expression.

To search for a string appearing in any text node descendant of the <document> element (but not crossing element boundaries), and to return the immediately containing elements, you could use the XPath expression

form/document//*[contains(text(), '......')]

and of course you could generate that from (ASP|JSP|PHP) in the same way.
