Re: [Zope] Zcatalog and PrincipiaSearchSource with Zclasses ?

Sure, why not just impliment a DTML Method in your ZClass called
PrincipiaSearchSource that returns what you want indexed?
<dtml-return "title + author + body">
This won't work, because you can't index on the result of a DTML Method.
PythonMethod is perfect for this kind of thing. I just created
PrincipiaSearchSource with self as an argument and the following code:

    return self.id+"; "+self.title+"; "+self.text

... and then re-indexed everything (so the catalog picked up on the method)
and performed a search. Worked a treat!

    return string.join((self.id, self.title, self.text,), '; ')

would perhaps be more efficient, but isn't quite as readable. :)
