chris, catalogs don't automatically search other catalogs they find. until this is implemented you could create a separate catalog that only catalogs other catalog instances (and your squishdot instance) and then you could ask that main catalog to give you all its other catalogs and simply fire off the search you want to do on each of them. if your site is very simple and the location/number of catalogs doesn't really change you could also hard-code them into a search page that asks all of them directly. jens

You want the ZCatalog Howto:

Do catalogs search otehr catalogs they find?

Only asking 'cos I don't think that'll help him search his whole site as the Squishdot postings won't get searched. But, if the above is true, then it should be okay since Squishdot is now subclassed from ZCatalog :-)
