As Michael said, how can we know what the real problem is if the code
you post clearly isn't generating the error message that you give
(since the original version would not have run at all and this version
runs without error producing the result below on your given input)

You seem to be trivialising the fact that we pointed out that the code
you posted was incapable of producing any output?



Your corrected stylesheet produces this result on the posted xml
(using saxon6 as a reference xslt 1 implementation)

            </ns:request>
        </ns:Search>

</soapenv:Envelope>




which is well formed XML but without any schema or dtd reference
so the following message is to be expected, and not necessarily
an error:

On the other hand this is clearly an error:

but presumably related to the details of the way you are calling your 
stylesheet which we don't know (and is probably more related to the 
programing language used in your calling framework than xslt) since the 
xslt runs without error when applied directly.
