By default, ZCatalog creates a few metadata elements: id, title, summary, bobobase_modification_time, etc.

In the results objects returned by a search of my site, the 'summary' metadata is always blank. The other metadata elements always have something store in them, but 'summary' is always blank. How do I get ZCatalog to store a summary of each object during indexing? Do your objects have a "summary" attribute or (parameterless) method?

Give them one and let the value be non-empty... Dieter
