The value i need
<div style="padding-left:20px;color:#888"></div>
</div>

i need to get the innertext of the outer div with title contains some title.

i have this code

divs = docNode.SelectNodes("//div[contains(@title, 'View this search:')]")
If divs Is Nothing Then Continue For
For Each div In divs
    If div Is Nothing Then Continue For
    If ListSearch.Contains(div.InnerText) = False Then
        ListSearch.Add(div.InnerText)
    End If
Next

this gives me

34 New or Changed   XThe value i need

instead of

Try to use the following XPath:

//div[contains(@title, 'View this search:')]/child::text()/following-sibling::text()
