Greetings Zopeheads. After much sweat and toil and 4 rewrites, we are pleased to announce the release of ZCatalog, the Zope Cataloging and Searching Product, version 1.0.0 alpha. The Catalog can be found at: http://www.zope.org/Download/ZCatalog We recommend you read the ZCatalog Tutorial, written by Mike Pelletier (Note that 'Mike' Pelletier is a completely different person than 'Michel' Pelletier, which is me) which is available on the web at the above location. ZCatalog requires Zope 2.0.0alpha3. It will not work with any previous versions of Zope. Remember, this is *alpha* software. It has limitations, and there are several optimizations/features we have planed for it which are not included in this release. We would, however, like the tired to be well kicked. Please report any bugs you find related to ZCatalog to the Collector: http://www.zope.org/Collector We hope you find some interesting things to do with the Catalog! -Michel

YES! Michel you can now take a well deserved long vacation until tomorrow ;-) One slight problem with the tutorial: ... Congratulations, if all has gone well, you can now find references to any word in your DTML pages. Try it by viewing search. Type a common word in the Raw field, and you should be presented with a list of hits. However, none of the results returned can be clicked on. To fix this, go to the management view of report. report is called by search to display the results from catalog. report is just a simple loop with a few refinements. catalog knows which results to return by looking at the REQUEST variable, which contains the input from the search form. In the source of report, find the following line:: Replace it with this:: "> ... This is due to a bug in StructuredText, not allowing <PRE> blocks inside lists. I have a patched version at: http://www.gaaros.com:9673/FAQ/StructuredText but it is not the most efficient patch. Once more ... Well Done DC! Pavlos

However, I seem to be limited by the amount of memory used by manage_catalogFoundItems. It's memory usage seems to balloon out of control, and never goes back to normal until restarting Zope. Is this a memory leak, or just a consequence of the awesome indexing the catalog is doing? Just for kicks I loaded several MB of texts into DTML Docs and this is where I found the memory problem.

Maybe one of you could change your name. I've heard that the name "Bobo" is available. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco Perhaps the war in Kosovo would get more press if it were directed by George Lucas.
