No bug, just "duh".

Did that - actually the site owner can allow self-reviewing or not
portalwide
or on a user-by user basis.

Well, the filesystem product isn't used in Blark, which just contains
Documents.  I did look at the code for the FS product and it doesn't
have WorkflowCore.afterCreate(). However, if I create an
instance and try to search for a word in the title, (as Guest, this time,
from the DUH department) nothing shows up in the results.

Once it's published it shows up. Can one assume that everything is OK if it
works in this fashion? I've made too many assumptions already today :-)

I can add it anyway, and I assume you mean in the
__init__ constructor as opposed to the add method.
