zope 2.5.1b1 in pythonscript, concat the result of the query like so
o=getattr(context,'Catalog') r=o(index1={'query':'myquery'}) + o(index2={'query':'query2'}) return r
there maybe better ways, but thsi is how i did it
this works, but adds some extra overhead as you go through the entire zcatalog query process several times. you can search a catalog on multiple indexes by passing each index name and its query args as keyword names to the catalog... ie for a simple case the above translates to
o(index1=query, index2=query2)
this is how i did it with zope 2.3.x i spoke to aj, and if i get it correctly, that way is deprecated. he ssays maybe zope 2.9, that code will break :)
thus the full catalog search machinery is invoked only once and internally (and more efficiently) the catalog will merge the results
as per the original question, use a python script to break up the form
input
appropriately to search the individual indexes.
