XQuery is actually off-topic for this list, though I personally think it
would be a good idea to bring it on-topic. Any views, anyone?

There's a large number of XQuery implementations in various states of
completeness advertised on the Query home page at www.w3.org. If you
want something that searches terabytes of data then you're going to have
to buy a serious database product such as my own company's Tamino. If
you just want to search a single XML document, which is what your
example does, then any of the XQuery processors should handle it. In
Saxon you just do

java net.sf.saxon.Query query.xq

after putting the below query into file query.xq, in the same directory
as bib.xml.

I have no idea how I can link my xml doc with xquery together 
or get the desired results

Any suggestion?

For example

My xml is as following

Here is my Xquery

<author_list>
  {
    FOR $a IN distinct(document("bib.xml")//author)
    RETURN
        <author>
            <name>{ $a/text() }</name>
               {
                FOR $b IN document("bib.xml")//book[author = $a]
                RETURN $b/title
               } 
        </author>
  }
</author_list>

XIndice is a piece of software, XQuery is a language.

If you can't tell the difference between a product and a 
language, I don't know where to start explaining.

    Xindice vs XQuery
So far I am unable to find any difference.

I simply want a search engine like yahoo or google etc.  It will 
search all the xml documents and return the desired node.

Any suggestion?

if your requirements are flexible, why not look into an xml 
database 
like xindice ? It will give you XPATH querying capability 
across sets 
of xml documents...and you can still access via webdav or http url, 
just a thought.

Hi all,

Scenario:   
There are plenty of xml documents.  They are linked (href) 
with each 
other if there is any relation. For example, first page shows 5 
folders named f1, f2, f3, f4, f5.  Then f1 has folders and 
files and 
so on.

Objective:

An engine which will take user input and will return some results.  
For example, we search for a folder f51 or we search for a document.

Do any of you have any idea/suggestion?

Thanks,

/s
