The matching package is zope.catalog.
It provides all you need (catalog and indexes) to handle your task.
Objects creations and modifications are followed automatically by several
subscribers as soon as this package is correctly registered.
z3c.catalog and hurry.query packages can be good extensions packages to
look at...
