If you use ZCTextIndex, I believe that surrounding a phrase in quotes will do the kind of phrase searching you're looking for. I don't think plain old TextIndex will, though. - C On Thu, 2003-03-13 at 14:18, Chris Humphries wrote:
hello all, question is about how exactly zcatalog does phrase searching. from going thru the source, i am having a heck of a time trying to find where it actually does something with the search string (so i can tell how it uses it to search). the problem is that there is a requirement to be able to search for "string exactly like this", and we are using zcatalog to search over our zope content objects. now from how it is now, i am uncertian that if 1) zcatalog can do that and 2) if it can, how?. it seems to search for "string" AND "exactly" AND "like" AND "this" when that is not the desired behavior. we want it to be 4 words treated as one entity to search on, and not 4 seperate entities. if i have communicated well enough across, can you tell me if this is possible with zcatalog, and if so how do i do it?
thanks, chris
