Sorry for the long, confusing post but here is the same question in a more
simplified version.(Funny the clarity you get from a good night's sleep)

I'm trying to learn how/do two things here:
1) If the user searches for "Data" ($searchtext = "Data") the output should
also include the fourth
  record because Field1 contains "all".
 2) But the output of this same search should also exclude any records where
Field1 contains "info"
  ($searchtext = "info"). You can see by the textsearch template that I have 3
case conversion
  variables that can be used to to include/exclude "All", "all", "ALL",
"Info", "info", or "INFO"

A statement like this includes "all" but I can't figure out how to get it to
also exclude "info"
 <xsl:for-each select="record[*[name() = $searchfield][contains(.,
$ProperText) or contains(., $UCASETEXT) or contains(., $lcasetext) or
../Field1[contains(., 'ALL') or contains(., 'all') or contains(., 'All')]]]">
