The ZCatalog doesn't return the actual object that is indexed. It returns a representation of the object in the form of a "brain" which you can use to reference the object. <dtml-in Catalog> <dtml-with sequence-item> <dtml-var "Catalog.getobject(data_record_id_).myMethod()"><br> </dtml-with> </dtml-in> This snippet iterates over all the results from a catalog and calls the myMethod() method on every one of the objects referenced by the returned results. "data_record_id_" is an attribute of the "brain" object returned from the catalog search. "getobject" is a method of the Catalog which returns the actual object referenced by the "data_record_id_".

An accurate question here:

I read the page:

http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/AdvZCatalogSearching

But I'm not able to understand very much, what is the section where they are talking about "a small description for every result" you are getting from the ZCatalog search engine ?

My site is almost ready ! As well as my business plan for my company...

Very truly yours,
