Hi, I used ZCatalog to index an object I created, which contains a site_index, and site_description properties. These properties were indexed and are searchable hence when I do the following search in DHTML <dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults(site_title='computer')"> <a href="/<dtml-var "Catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)">"> <dtml-var site_title></a><br> <dtml-var site_description> <p> </dtml-in> I do get the correct results. However when I enter a non-english word, which is indexed as well, I do not get anything else. I did hear that someone tries using ZCatalog with chinease and were unscussesful, has there been any changes?? Also what are the chances that ZCatalog can allow us to include a function to be used when indexing and searching of the objects, so we can apply any word tranformation such as suffix removal i.e. computing, computers, computer, computed, can be indexed as comput if I choose to. What I mean is that we specify a method (possibly external) that will do what is needed and the resulting word can be indexed by ZCatalog, and the same method is called to transform the input word usinf the same method when searching that catalog. Sorry for the long email :) Adonis
