anybody know how to make flash search for certain entries ( by title or similar things ) of entries that are in an XML file and just pull all the information of that out? I have been trying to get it to work but it keeps on failing

the XML file ( code ) that I use at the moment is:

> \<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?\>  
> \<Items\>  
> \<Item SKU=“10167402” title=“22265004210” department=“11” quantity=“7” counted=“0” /\>

I would prefer if the layout of the XML doesn’t change, but if not able to do it without changing the layout, so be it. what I will be using the most to search for things would be the title

thanks in advance
