Hello all, I did the following while adding a new site sm = site.getSiteManager() intids = IntIds() sm['intids'] = intids sm.registerUtility(intids, IIntIds) cat = Catalog() sm['catalog'] = cat sm.registerUtility(cat, ICatalog) cat[u'client_name'] = TextIndex('name', IClient) I ran into the debug shell prompt and checked the length of sm['initid'] after adding 'Client' objects via browser interface. It did reflected the number of items added. But when I ran a search query in the shell prompt there were no results >>> len(sm['intids']) 4 >>> list(cat.apply({'client_name': 'xyz*'})) [] But when I updated the indexes, it gave out results. >>> cat.updateIndexes() >>> list(cat.apply({'client_name': 'xyz*'})) [753759381] I guess that I don't have to manually update the indexes each time when an object is added/modified.
