... the chapter 'Searching and Categorizing Content' of the ZopeBook seems to rely on ZClasses,
It does not... Of course, in order to index an object under a value, the object must have a attribute (or method) the returns this value. ZClasses come with "PropertySheets" (to define attributes) and methods. Both can be used for indexing (and MetaData determination). Without ZClasses, your options are: * properties * acquired methods (usually PythonScripts) * persistent classes in products with their attributes and methods * Archetypes.
... the name is promising, but I can't find any documentation yet I'll do a bit of guessing
Reread the "Searching" section in the Zope Book. Maybe, you find also useful: <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html> and <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope#ManagableIndex> -- Dieter
