You can use a predicate e.g.

>    <xsl:apply-templates 
> select="/agendas/agenda/data/content[contains(translate(.,$UC,$lc), 
> $Keyword)]">

  <xsl:apply-templates
    select="/agendas/agenda[category =
$category]/data/content[contains(translate(.,$UC,$lc), $Keyword)]">

that filters out the agenda elements having a category child element
with content being equal to the variable or parameter named 'category'.

Change

>>  <xsl:apply-templates
>>    select="/agendas/agenda[category =
>> $category]/data/content[contains(translate(.,$UC,$lc),
$Keyword)]">

to

 <xsl:apply-templates
    select="/agendas/agenda[metadata/category =
$category]/data/content[contains(translate(.,$UC,$lc), $Keyword)]">

Dear Sir,

I am using MSXML and XSLT to search one XML. I can use "contains" to
search 
through all child nodes, I do not know how can search into other nodes of 
parent parent nodes.

I got below XML.
---------------------------XML--------------------------------
<agendas>
<agenda>
<id>1112</id>
<data>
<content>
<title>this is the title # 2</title>
</content>
<ref>GT355-332-234</ref>
</data>
<category>Finance</category>
</agenda>

.............

</agendas>

---------------------------End of XML ----------------------

I need to search keyword on <title>, also need to check <category> =
certain 
value.
I use below XSLT to search title node, how do I check <category> node
match 
one value? should I use apply-templates twice or is there other solutions?

----------------------------------  
XSLT -----------------------------------------
<!-- upper and lower case for case incensitive search.-->
  <xsl:variable
name="lc">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable
name="UC">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</xsl:variable>

  <xsl:template name="filter" match="/">
    <!-- this will filter out data by keyword and/or datetime.-->
    <xsl:apply-templates 
select="/agendas/agenda/data/content[contains(translate(.,$UC,$lc), 
$Keyword)]">
    </xsl:apply-templates>

  </xsl:template>
---------------------------------- END of 
XSLT ----------------------------------

Great! what about if the category node is under the node of <metadata> 
instead of directly under<agenda>? The agenda data can be something like

-------------------------------------- 
<agenda>
<id>1112</id>
<data>
<content>
<title>this is the title # 2</title>
</content>
<ref>GT355-332-234</ref>
</data>
<metadata>
<category>Finance</category>
</metadata>
</agenda>

-----------------------------

What should I do in this case then?

Thanks for great help.

Regards,

Guoqi Zheng
