In Zope 2.4, the catalog comes standard with an instance of a new
kind of index, called PathIndex, motivated exactly by the use
case you outline.  Taking advantage of it, your query would look
something like this::

  <dtml-in "portal_catalog.searchResults( meta_type='Document'
                                        , sort_on='Date'
                                        , sort_order='reverse'
                                        , review_state='published'
                                        , path=absolute_url
                                        )" size="10">
