    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {public void run() {new search_string().setVisible(true);} });
    }
    // Variables declaration - do not modify

    private javax.swing.JButton search_btn;
    private javax.swing.JTextField search_txb;
    // End of variables declaration                   
}

I now the first error belongs to this line:

nodes [i]= nodeIndex.get( "name", find ).getSingle();

I have tried to solve it,by changing it few times but could not solve.

It will be kind of you if you help me to have the code ran correctly.
