Hi, As I found out - you can not index numbers and therefore not search for dates using the zCatalog. But I was wondering 'bout workarounds. I thougt maybe if I could change the bobo_modification_date to one of my own. That I could search for. But that seems like a pretty crappy workaround... Ideas.... anyone ??? Has anyone modified the Zope index method to also index numbers ??

I don't think this is true. Catalog does not index numbers in TextIndexes, but I think a FieldIndex would work fine. I'm pretty sure I've done it (with dates, even), but not 100% sure. Just make sure you use a FieldIndex, and I think you'll be fine. Kevin

Field indexes can index any kind of picklable object value, including DateTime objects. This is how searching by date is done on the Zope site. -Michel

hmm, i must admit that I still can't get it to work with simple numbers. I have a field with the number "20002" but it doesn't matter wether i use text or field index it still don't work. Am I forgetting something ?? And yes - I reindex the cataloge before searching. But I will look into the date thing right now!!!
