NodeSet#search behavior

[trans]

Is this how NodeSet#search ought to behave?

require 'nokogiri'

xml = Nokogiri::XML <<-EOS
  <root><x><m id="a" class="q">dummy</m><n id="b" class="q">dummy</n></x></root>
EOS

nodeset = xml.search('.q')

p nodeset
<m id="a" class="q">dummy</m><n id="b" class="q">dummy</n>

p nodeset.search('#a')
=> nil

nil? I guess it is searching inside of each node in the set, but I would think it would match against the top nodes as well --which would be useful for a procedure of filtering steps for instance.
