Hi Paul Yes, I found my way to the latest version of the Zope book, thanks. I'll have a look at the text files. Am attempting a daterange index based search and it's proving very frustrating. Basically something along the lines of what's on this Plone site, search content based on a start and an end date....http://spain.babeloo.es/ michael On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 2:31 PM, Paul Winkler <slinkp@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi

Is there any in-depth documentation anywhere on the Zope search facility the ZCatalog, how to build indexes and access these. I find that the Zope Book online is ok but not quite enough to really get to grips with it.

I assume you are looking at the last version, http://plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/SearchingZCatalog.stx

Other than that, there's some .txt files in the source that you might look at. Not sure how helpful they will be, but it's worth a look. Look under lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/ and lib/python/Products/PluginIndexes.
