XPath expression help

1 New Member
I'm kind of a newbie to XPath, so I need help with an expression.
Given the xml snippet below, I would like an XPath expression to do the following: Get all property nodes where any text within the child nodes matches an input value. For example, if the input value is "liberty-pike," the first property node would be returned.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <properties>
  2.   <property id="89002028">
  3.   <name>Carothers, John Henry, House</name> 
  4.   <name>Carothers,Ezeal,House</name> 
  5.   <address>Liberty Pike</address> 
  6.   <city>Franklin</city> 
  7.   <state>TN</state>
  8.   </property>
  9.   <property id="80000438">
  10.   <name>Dighton Rock</name> 
  11.   <address>Across the Taunton River from Dighton in Dighton Rock State Park</address> 
  12.   <city>Dighton</city> 
  13.   <state>MA</state>
  14.   </property>
  15. </properties>
