As I found out - you can not index numbers and therefore not search for dates using the zCatalog.

I don't think this is true. Catalog does not index numbers in TextIndexes, but I think a FieldIndex would work fine.

yep.

I'm pretty sure I've done it (with dates, even), but not 100% sure.

Just make sure you use a FieldIndex, and I think you'll be fine.

Field indexes can index any kind of picklable object value, including DateTime objects. This is how searching by date is done on the Zope site. -Michel
