Search xml file nodes/attributes matching a query

[tassa]

Hello,

I guess the title explains my situation. I have a xml file with this structure:

<books>

<author>author 1

<title>title 1

<notes date/time "date&time">notes 1
</notes>

</title>

</author>

<author>author 2

<title>title 2

<notes date/time "date&time">notes 2
</notes>

</title>

</author>

</books>

I would to search the xml file to see which node/attribute matches a query. For example, if I were to search for "will", the search would return the tag or tags that have the word/phrase in it's attribute/inner text.

I have really basic idea of how to read xml.

Thanks in advance!
