I hope this answers your question... (word1 AND word2) ANDNOT (word2 OR word3) Ops are: AND, OR, NEAR, ANDNOT should work, assuming that you are just trying to search a single index. There are also other tools to potentially consider like CatalogQuery, which may give you additional means of searching: http://www.zope.org/Members/Kaivo/CatalogQuery/ Sean -----Original Message----- From: Benoit Dominiak [mailto:benoit.dominiak@makinacorpus.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 8:57 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] ZCatalog and advanced searching Hi everybody, How can I do advanced searching with a ZCatalog ? Like : (A+B).(C+A) (but something that users can change) and also with more importance on some variable critera. Thanks for your help.
