I need to search entire site from mydev, i am trying to use Zcatalog to do it but after i created A zcatalog under mydev, i use find objects to put object to ZODB. but i can not find a way to seach the entire site, is there a way to do that? Thanks You should of course create the ZCatalog in root and not in a distant leafe. Its possible, but then you have to catalog all objects yourself rather then letting ZCatalog do this for you. (ZCatalog uses ZopeFind() for descending all folders and objects when you hit catalog items)

Regards Tino But for some reason i only have write access to mydev, what do you mean by catalog all objects by myself?

Thanks

All objects have methods which perform actions for the user. Often, there are low and high level methods.

The "ZCatalog" provides a high level method for cataloguing that gets a query specification, searches in its containing container all objects satisfying the specification and catalogs them.

The "ZCatalog" also provides a low level method for cataloguing: "catalog_object". It catalogs any object, you provide.

To use "catalog_object", you have to collect all objects you want to catalog and call "catalog_object" for them. You can use "ZopeFind" to collect the objects. This is what Tino meant by "catalog yourself".

I recommend my "DocFinder" product to find out easily what methods are available and how they should be called.

Thanks for response. Can you give an example how to catalog objects in sub2f1 form mydev, do i have to write some python code to do that? Thanks
