I'm looking for a browser based xml search utility...

I'm looking for a browser based search utility to search a local xml file not the internet or a web site like google.....

Xpath is probably a requirement to do this. That's fine, it's just needs to be browser based and must search a local xml file.

If php is required, that's fine too!

quite easy to use xpath and contains() method, don't forget search will be case sensitive - so use transform to convert all to lowercase

I'm not a programmer like you. Is there some code or something already, somewhat, put together I can use to do this?

What are you searching it for and what do you expect it to return?

The XML file has several thousand records exactly like what is shown below. This information contains port details of a Cisco device. I.E. The name of the Cisco device, an IP address and a MAC address of what is connected to a port on the device. The goal here is to be able to search for a PCs IP address or MAC address to be able to quickly identify what switch and what switch port the PC is connected to so an action can be taken.

It would be nice if the entire <UTData> record could be returned for a search.

I'm attaching the very beginning of the xml file which has 2 <UTData> records in it:
