Your post isn't clear, but I assume you mean you connected an SQL database, and used the built in search forms. Most SQL servers accept a query of the form X like 'thus%' where percent is the same as * and underscore (_) is the same as ? in shell scripting. However, I have not used the built in search forms, so I don't know if they properly detect a '%' or '_' and switch to using like instead of equals. I doubt it, based on what I've read, so you'll probably have to rewrite the SQL queries. Howard C. Shaw III Programmer/SysAdmin St. Thomas High School

Hello, I added search forms to my uploaded database but all i can search for are complete words. When i type something like "a*" he finds nothing. Is there a way to allow wildcard searches on a zope server? Any help would be appreciated. Ciao, Alex
