What keeps you at v.2.0? It was a (practically, first) decent .NET version, but you will have more and more problems in getting help, as most will answer using more recent feature. At least tag .MET 2.0 when asking questions.

most of end users are still on microsoft xp so i have to create my software in vs 2005

XP can use .NET v.3.5 and v.4.0. Not a good excuse.

If you cannot use .NET Framework of the versions above v.2.0, you will have to use other means of working with XML and develop the search by yourself. Please see my short overview:

XML Read/Write:

Use System.Xml.XmlDocument class. It implements DOM interface; this way is the easiest and good enough if the size if the document is not too big.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^].
Use the classes System.Xml.XmlTextWriter and System.Xml.XmlTextReader; this is the fastest way of reading, especially is you need to skip some data.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlwriter.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlreader.aspx[^].
Only for .NET Framework v.3.5 or later: Use the class System.Xml.Linq.XDocument; this is the most adequate way similar to that of XmlDocument, supporting LINQ to XML Programming.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx[^], http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387063.aspx[^].
