You missed a step: you must use the Metadata tab of the ZCatalog to define which fields of the indexed objects should be returned with the results from the search. After you do that, you'll have to update the catalog (Advanced tab) and then regenerate your search interface. For instance, to return the ids of the objects, add id as a metadata. If you'd like to show the URL of each item, there is no need to set metadata for that, since the records returned form the catalog have a method called getUrl which gives you that. So you can use record/getUrl, where record is the variable name used in the tal:repeat statement which invokes the catalog search results.

I've diligently followed the tutorial about searching in the Zope book:
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/SearchingZCatalo...
You basically: - create a ZCatalog object - create a Lexicon and an Index - finding objects and cataloging them - create a web interface (with Z Search Interface) to search the ZCatalog.
When I search something in the SearchForm (via the "test" tab) I just get numbers. I mean the ReportForm correctly reports the objects containing the searched string, but lists handles (I guess).
Is this normal?
What can I do in order to get something like:
/Zoo/Serpents /Zoo/Reptiles
(the above are imaginary DTML documents matching the search criteria, and their path to ZODB root)
instead of:
4567489 4567480
???
Thanks a lot -- Peppe
