I have asked the following question on the zope list, the squishdot site, and the squishdot eGroups site without a single response. Is there something I am leaving out or is it a hard one?

It is a hard one...

Question: I am running Zope 2.1.6 and Squishdot 6 (upgraded from 2->3->5->6). I have created a keyword search of my entire site. I see the Squishdot site listed as a cataloged object, but when I run a keyword search of my site, I get everything but the squishdot site items. Since my last upgrade I have updated the catalog to no avail.

So what you're basically saying is you have something like a ZCatalog in the root of your site and your Squishdot Site object appears in this Catalog?

Incidentally, I have the zope chat example running also, and it shows every single posting by every user in the catalog objects, but these also don't show in search results (but this may be a design issue for chat).

The chat thing, I would guess, is a seperate and unrelated issue. I think you can think of this as a 'nested ZCatalog problem'. What you're expecting to happen is this: If a root catalog contains another catalog, when you search the root catalog, you'd like the search to be performed on the contained catalog as well, and then results set returned to be a union of the two searched. That's really hard to do... If anyone knows how to solve this, please let the list know... cheers, Chris
