ZCatalog is nothing more than a thin wrapper around
Catalog (to make a Catalog a persistent object in ZODB).
All search facilities of ZCatalog are in fact implemented
by Catalog.
This implies: Catalog can do boolean queries.
Note: the catalog has notorious bugs (at least until
Zope 2.2.2). If it does not work, it may be one
of these bugs.
