Answer 1

Try this:

bool result = element.DescendantsAndSelf().Any(e => e.Value == "cccc");

Answer 2

for searching a Value i couldnt find anything and i wrote this :

wfo = XElement.Load("some xml");
foreach (var element in wfo.DescendantsAndSelf())
                    {
                            foreach (XAttribute attribute in element.Attributes())
                            {
                                if (attribute.Value.Any(q=>q== "search"))
                                {

                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }

linq :

var test = wfo.DescendantsAndSelf().Attributes().Any(q => q.Value.Any(z=>z == "search"));
