Hi,

We can search content based on the xpath in an xml file. If we import an xml
under a particular node, you could make xpath search.  For example consider
the below xml 

<Addresses>
    <Address>
        <Name>Odyssey</Name>
        <Number>50</Number>
        <Area>Adyar</Area>
        <City>Chennai</City>
        <State>TN</State>
        <Country>India</Country>
    </Address>
</Addresses>

If we import this under the node called 'ShoppingCentre', we could execute
the query with the xpath
'//ShoppingCentre/Addresses/Address/Name/jcr:xmltext' to get the Name node.
I think Jukka has also meant the same.

No, that's not possible. If possible, you might want to consider
modifying your content model so that instead of storing XML in your
properties you expand the content into normal JCR nodes and
properties.
