Search XML Node

I'm building a guitar website which uses XML and XSLT.
http://www.madtim67.com/guitar/index.html You can search either by artist or
song. At the moment my XSL page only returns a result if the exact string is
entered i.e I have to enter 'baker street' or 'gerry rafferty' in order to
get a result. I would appriciate it if anyone could tell me how to modify
the code below so that if I enter 'baker' or 'gerry' I would get a result.

Heres my XSL page

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet
   version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:param name="text1" />

<xsl:template match="/">

<html>

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
<title>Results</title>
</head>

<body>

<table class="three" align="center">

 <col width="35%" />

<tr>

</tr>

     <xsl:for-each select="cat/links">
 <xsl:if test="./artist = $text1">

    <td><xsl:apply-templates select="./artist" /></td>

    <td><a href="{$link2}" target="_blank">play</a></td>
</tr>

 </xsl:if>
 </xsl:for-each>

 <xsl:for-each select="cat/links">
 <xsl:if test="./song = $text1">

 <xsl:variable name="link2"><xsl:apply-templates select="./midi"
/></xsl:variable>
 <td><a href="{$link2}" target="_blank">play</a></td>
</tr>

 </xsl:if>
 </xsl:for-each>

</table>

<div align="center">
<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Click here to return to search page</a>
</div>

</body>
