Dear Mike,

A key can only be used to search within a single document. You can, of
course, construct the union of the results of searching each individual
document using the key, like this:

$allInput/key('linebyfolio',$folio)

I'm not sure what you were trying to do with the /text/* so I've left
that out of the equation.

Assuming that $allInput were bound to an arbitrary set of elements scattered across a set of documents, would there be any advantage to


$allInput/root()/key('linebyfolio',$folio)


Yes, probably.
