Search in the value of an XML field

Hi,

Is there any way to use xpath to find a node that contains some string
in ita value? Somehow like searching for the value of an attribute, but
instead look in the node's text

To be more specific

if I have this xml

<customer>
  <name part="first">John</name>
  <name part="last">Doe</name>
</customer>

I can search with the following  xpath expression to get the first name
//customer/name[@part="first"]

But if I have this xml
<customer>
  <name>first: John</name>
  <name>last: Doe</name>
</customer>

How can I find node with first name? I don't want to get the whole
collection of name nodes from customer, scan all and check if text
includes "first"

Is there any way to get this directly with xpath?

Thank you

Regards,
Bogdan Zamfir
