I created a ZCatalog to index all the contents of a site. To index the contents of the documents I added a 'raw' text index to the catalog, but it seems to be working just with DTML Documents. Do I need to add another index to the catalog to make it index File documents or is it a ZCatalog bug?
File objects are not 'documents', although they may of course contain files which you consider to be documents. Since File objects can contain *anything*, including binary executables or images, they don't define 'contents' for ZCatalog purposes. What you might want to do is create a sub-ZClass of File dedicated to storing your document files, and define a PrincipiaSearchSource method which returns the contents of the object. You could even pre-process the contents in this method if you wanted to strip off headers or formatting or any other bits you don't really want in your full-text search. Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
