Navigation / node-set

Hi, my problem is that with this code
instead of displaying the first matching preceding-sibling
I display all of them that precede.
How I can diplay just the first matching preceding-sibling?
Thanks



<xsl:template name="randomsearch">
    <xsl:variable name="selcat" select="$SelectCategories"/>
    <xsl:variable name="selran" select="$SearchedString"/>

      <xsl:variable name="witem">

        <xsl:for-each select="(./kbase//title)">

 2)"/></xsl:for-each></xsl:variable>
