is very much different from using this:

<td><input name="year_of_birth_index.query:record" width=30 value="1000, 1500"></td></tr>

I suggest to put your this query somewhere in a python script and call the script instead of moving to much complicated logic inside the ZPT. -aj

So, I finally managed to search a FieldIndex in my Catalog in Python like this:

request = {'year_of_birth_index':{'query':[1000, 1500], 'range': 'minmax'}} obj = self.Catalog.search(request)

print obj.__len__(), 'objects found' for i in range(obj.__len__()): print i , obj.__getitem__(i).title, obj.__getitem__(i).getObject().year_of_birth

Uhh! Are you trying to obfuscate your code? The following looks much clearer. Do you not agree? result = self.Catalog(year_of_birth_index = {'query':[1000,1500], 'range':'min:max'} ): print len(result), 'objects found' for i in range(len(result)): proxy = result[i] print i, proxy.title, proxy.getObject().year_of_birth

Now I want to do the exact same thing in ZPT, but get no results, why?

<form action="index_report" method="get"> <table> <tr><th>Search Year of Birth</th> <td><input name="year_of_birth_index.query:record" width=30 value="1000, 1500"></td></tr>

This will give you a string but you need a list. This means that your action must convert the string into a list probably by splitting at ",", stripping and converting to "int". -- Dieter
