> Contact[contains(Name,'test1')] > > Depending on where ever your context node is. Or perhaps /List/Contact[starts-with(Name,'test1')] if starting from the root. Note that an XPath expression returns a set of nodes - this expression will return two Contact nodes. It does not return the children of the Contact nodes directly. But the children are still there - you can navigate from the selected nodes to their children, their ancestors, or anywhere else. So for example if in XSLT you do <xsl:copy-of select="/List/Contact[contains(Name,'test1')]"/> you will get copies of the subtrees rooted at these Contact nodes.
