I'll look into this:

Ah I neglected to mention that your Findable class needs to define the
url method. ;)  It should be an external method, just like index_object:

def url(self, ftype=urllib.splittype, fhost=urllib.splithost):
    """Return a SCRIPT_NAME-based url for an object."""
    if hasattr(self, 'DestinationURL') and \
       callable(self.DestinationURL):
        url='%s/%s' % (self.DestinationURL(), self.id)
    else: url=self.absolute_url()
    type, uri=ftype(url)
    host, uri=fhost(uri)
    script_name=self.REQUEST['SCRIPT_NAME']
    __traceback_info__=(`uri`, `script_name`)
    if script_name:
        uri=filter(None, string.split(uri, script_name))[0]
    uri=uri or '/'
    if uri[0]=='/': uri=uri[1:]
    return uri
