Thx Michael, I now understand my stupid mistake. I should have tested solely on the name instead of the sequence of names. Thx for the quick reply !!

So I was wondering what would be an elegant way to solve this puzzler? persons/person[some $n in children/child/name satisifies matches(upper-case($n), upper-case($searchString))] or if you prefer to avoid range variables, persons/person[children/child/name[matches(upper-case(.), upper-case($searchString))]] (I'm not sure that applying upper-case() to a regular expression is particularly good practice, however - for example it will change \w to \W).
