Dear Chris, This is not the only answer, but I think its a good one. If you take care to use the absolute_url() function to generate URLs you can easily use a standalone web search tool like htdig, running under Apache, to spider all of your visble content, and provide unified search results across any number of hosts or even domains. Its a hack, but it has some advantages - like being super easy to set up, and only showing linked, 'viewable-by-Anonymous users' content by default. Chris seberino@spawar.navy.mil wrote ..

possible to do *search* over multiple zope instance homes?

(In case I can't merge 2 zope instance homes together?)
