You can't... this is a feature ;-) If you want to match against, say, the first two letters of an attribute, make a new field index in the catalog against a method on your object that returns the first two letters of the attribute. TextIndexes match partially, so if you wanted, you could use a text index against the attribute and query with "ab*" to match "absolute", "aberrance", etc. But text indexes have other behaviors that aren't desirable in some cases (like splitter behavior dropping words like "C++"). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roch'e Compaan" <roche@ybm.co.za> To: "Zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 12:22 AM Subject: [Zope] ZCatalog How does one do partial matching on a ZCatalog Field Index?
