This is a bit like the vicar complaining in his sermon about the people who
aren't in church, but I do wish people would lurk for a week or too before
posting.

 I'd like to get some help on or

Guess: you want to output the contents of the text nodes containing the
parameter string. If the node has following-sibling text nodes, follow it by
"...". If it has preceding-sibling text nodes, precede it by "...". Output
each match on a new line, with output method = text.

Solution:
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:if test="contains(., $target)">
   <xsl:if test="preceding-sibling::text()">... </xsl:if>
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
   <xsl:if test="following-sibling::text()"> ...</xsl:if>
   <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:temlate>
