Search xml

Hi all!

I’m trying to search in a xml that looks like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I want the user to be able to search in all the “part_name” nodes by typing in a textfield by first make a list by using .descendants(part_name)
Then search through that list with the search() to be able to list the results in realtime. When the user clicks on one of the results (and this is where I fail) I want to be able to find that node in the xml and also get the entire hierarchy from that node all the way up to the top parent. I have tied for days but can’t seem to manage. Can someone please help me? I would be so great full!

Have a nice day!
