Is there any better method of OR'ing on differend indices in quering ZCatalog, then the method described in 'Advanced ZCatalog Searching' <deletia>

It seems to me to be common case, when we show to user simple search form with only one input (that is where 'userInput' came from) and 'Go!' button. User don't want to know, that we have our data splited in many properties. But on Zope side it's very good to have it structured in that way - so how to reconcile these things ?

I use more than one ZCatalog at a time. One called SiteSearch stores full-text-search information on all the objects in a site. Then, I have other ZCatalogs for domain-specific searches. I use ZPatterns to do this. My objects are derived from DataSkins. I use CatalogTriggers to index my objects in the appropriate catalogs. CatalogTrigger is from Itamar Shtull-Trauring's ZPAddons package. (There will be a new version of this, renamed DataSkin addons released this weekend.) You could also modify CatalogAwareness.py to make an object aware of several catalogs at once. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
