The underscore character is considered a valid character for FieldIndex search in ZCatalog. But underscore is considered a word separator in ZCatalog's TextIndex search. This is bad. The thing I am worried about is: if I dig in and change the relevant .c files and regenerate the .so shared library files, for the next release of Zope, I'll have to merge the changes. So, would Digicool be kind enough to include the underscore ("_") as a valid character? thanks, Hung Jung PS- what's is the collector? how do I submit change proposals to Digicool? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
