Re: [Zope] Zcatalog's TextIndex Question

Can anyone explain why TextIndex only works with words but not numbers? For example, I have a catalogaware ZClass with a property PONumber of type String. I created a PONumber as TextIndex in the Catalog. I created 3 instances of the ZClass with PONumber Verbal, Tim Dunken, 289-4569. When I search for Verbal, Tim, or Dunken, I get the result. But searching for 289, 4569, or 289-4569 returns a blank page.

The Splitter removes numbers.

How can I solve the problem?

You can create your own kind of splitter and replace Zope's (note that Zope's splitter is written in C, and is found in lib/python/SearchIndex/Splitter.c) you can write yours in C or Python. -Michel
