Take a look at the corresponding section of the Zope book: http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/SearchingZCatalog.dtml It gives you a very good introduction into using the ZCatalog.

I've read the documentation about various index types (Text, Field, Keyword) as well as the information about property types. However, I'm having problems understanding how to decide which to use for different situations. For instance, I originally made document keywords a property "keywords" of the type "tokens", but it seems like tokens are case sensitive, and I'd be better off using just "string" -- or maybe it's that having the keyword property be indexed as KeywordIndex is a bad choice?

Could someone compare and contrast these things a bit more for me?
