A TeXQuery-Based XML Full-Text Search Engine

Summary: Demonstrates an XML full-text search engine built on TeXQuery, a composable XQuery extension. Enables mixed structured/text queries via embedded full-text predicates and a flexible scoring/top-k model; TeXQuery foreshadows W3C XQuery/XPath full-text extension.
