Try `//*[@*[ contains(., 'string') ]]`. Note that if the string is user-
specified you cannot simply use string concat to generate the expression
since the string might contain the quote marks you are using. You can
work around that by using a variable or by splitting the string and the
concat function with appropriate quote marks as needed. Another way to
write the expression would be `//@*[ contains(., 'string') ]/..`.
