Recently I posted a question about why my ZCatalog search wasn't behaving the way I had expected. I was trying to find items with had a particular meta-type and particular values for a couple of ZClass properties. It turns out that I had defined the properties in the Meta Data Table but I didn't define them as field indexes in the Indexes area. I assume that since I hadn't specified my properties as indexes, when the catalog search was performed it simply ignored those values and only used the meta_type specification and this is why all items were returned rather than the one I expected. When I added the field indexes the search behaved as expected. A careful re-reading of the ZCatalog tutorial helped me solve this one. James W.
