&= searches the current element and all its descendant nodes, so
.//node() is unnecessary. Just do mim:record[. &= $term] instead.

I created some new index features for the fulltext index as part of my
ongoing efforts to write a better query optimizer. These are similar
to the (experimental) qname-index-lookup function, maybe even more
efficient. This is still all alpha and I didn't commit anything so
far. I planned to upload some of my stuff over the weekend. I will
drop you a message when I'm done.
