I've looked hard at the two pages returned for "PathIndex" on Zope.org, and cannot make sense out of how to use 'level'. From the example, which is full of paths like '/aa/bb/cc' and '/cc/bb/cc' - all of the same size and using the same three letters -, I cannot tell if I can do a path query to find objects ONLY in a certain path, and not above or below it.

I have a situation where I have a hierarchy of Task content objects, and in one case I only want to display the immediate child tasks at certain paths (basically to top-level tasks), using the catalog query except for (hopefully) one changed parameter.

The level parameter specifies where the search starts. E.g. when you index an object with the URL http://www.zope.org//Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/PathIndexDocumentation then the PathIndex uses its physical path for indexing. In this example: '/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/PathIndexDocumentation' Searching for "DevSite" and level=1 would give you this document as search result. The first element of the physical path has level 0, the second level 1 and so on. Hope this helps, Andreas
