<< The SelectNodes (QueryType, expression) takes
as parameter a query language type, and a query expression whatever the
query language type is and whatever the query expression is.

So, by tweaking Dongwook's example and adding an argument to your method, we
have something like the example below for finding one of Churchill's
speechs:

SelectNodes (,ALL,"find the SPEECH having 'airmen, British'")

Use the default query engine and return all documents having a SPEECH node
that matches the selection criteria

instead of

SelectNodes (ELEMENT, "SPEECH", ALL, NEXT, CONTAINS, AND, "airmen, British")

Query element nodes for a speech that includes "airmen" and "British".
Traverse to the next element if there is no match. Return all hits.
