Question

Is there any selector engine for DOM elements like jQuery which offers no other extended methods like .bind, .css etc? What I mean is, a selector which just return found elements, nothing more. I tried to modify the jQuery, removed methods to get only the function that returns elements, but I got errors.

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at sizzle –

I believe it is the selector engine that jQuery uses.
