Try

<xsl:apply-templates 
select="cat/links[contains(artist,$text1)]|cat/links[contains(song,$text1)]/">

instead of that duplicate "xsl:for-each" elements.

Then, any element "cat/links[...]" should be matched just one time using

<xsl:template 
match="cat/links[contains(artist,$text1)]|cat/links[contains(song,$text1)]">
   <tr>......................</tr>
</xsl:template>
