I'm changing the value of the select attribute as a result of user input to
search for appropriate components. In this line, I'm trying to find every
component where one (any) of its child process elements contains the search
text the user typed in:
strNodeToSelect =
"/component-report//component[contains(translate(process,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'),'" + searchTextUpperCase + "')]";
This works fine, as long as the search text is found in the _first_ process
element. When the text is in the second or third or fourth, it doesn't match.
Is it possible to write this in such a way that it matches the text in _any_ of
the process elements?

Thanks to Sundar for suggesting using different XSL code, but that didn't work
for me in this case, as I only want to alter the select attribute of the same
XSL file, depending on user input. Thankfully, I needed the same answer that I
found in the last two messages of the current XPath Problem thread. I was also
using a function, and the function was only converting the first node in the
matching node set to a string, so it was only matching text from the _first_
process element. After that revelation, I've taken the process element out of
the function, created a "parent" predicate and used the context element inside
the "child" predicate function. The line now looks like this, and works like I
want it to:
strNodeToSelect =
"/component-report//component[process[contains(translate(.,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'),'" + searchTextUpperCase + "')]]";
