For free or open source (not necessarily GPL, though), you might be
interested in:
Indexing engines:
SWISH-E [http://swish-e.org]
Lucene [http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/index.html]
Harvest [http://harvest.sourceforge.net]
Databases:
eXist [http://exist.sourceforge.net]
Xindice [http://xml.apache.org/xindice/]
Sleepycat DB XML [http://www.sleepycat.com/products/xml.shtml]
PostgreSQL + third-party XPath tools
[http://www.throwingbeans.org/tech/postgresql_and_xml.html]
Also, for a more "all-in-one" search engine/digital library toolkit for
end-user usage, look at Greenstone [http://www.greenstone.org], although
its XML capabilities aren't its strongpoint. I'm sure I'm forgetting
some as well....
