 == User commentary ==
 '''Please sign all comments.'''
+XPAT indexes "regions", which are defined as all the content (not just PCDATA) between given tags.  This means that if you have markup like <tt>some text &lt;add&gt;added&lt;/add&gt;</tt> , you'll never be able to find this instance when searching on the phrase "text added".
