I can't verify that. I did copy'n'paste your code in my __init__.py and 
SearchableText works.

If you add a Python script like this to your portal folder, what does it 
return if you test it?

<code>
print context.SearchableText()
return printed
</code>

If this returns your Title and Description, you've got a (re)indexing 
problem.

If not: Did you restart Zope? Refresh and monkey patch don't like each 
other very much.


HTH,
