It seems it's not words less than 4 letters. I also have a CD titled "Hi Ka Ri" and searching for "hi", "ka" and "ri" respectively works as advertised. Which leads me to suspect that, for some reason, the words: for, you, me and to are "special". In that search refuses to find them.
I'd sleep better if others could confirm this. (Perhaps the daemon under the hood is lazy or something... :-))
The ZCatalog indeed ignores certain words. They are listed in lib\python\SearchIndex\TextIndex.py (at the end), and they are called Stop Words. ZCatalog does not index these because they are considered to be part of the 'fluff' of text, they are not relevant keywords in most texts. They are also too common in textxs to be of any use to pinpoint a particular document. If ZCatalog would index these, you index would blow up like a balloon with irrelevant and useless data. This is something all text indexers do. You also said you couldn't get your ZClasses to update the Catalog. Make sure you have chosen CatalogAware as the first base class (it should be listed as the second class on the Basic tab as _ZClass_for_CatalogAware), and you should call index_object after every change on the object. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | T: +31 35 7502100 F: +31 35 7502111 | mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ---------------------------------------------
