You're right. The HOWTO at

   http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/KeywordIndexes

has "in" instead of "=" in the last example. So,

<dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults(doc_keywords in ['Squids', 'foo' 'bar'])">

should read:

<dtml-in "Catalog.searchResults(doc_keywords=['Squids', 'foo' 'bar'])">

I've cc-ed Alex, the author of the HOWTO, into this message.

What exactly do you mean? You can do a search for 'Squids' or 'foo' or 
'bar' in a particular keyword index using the syntax given above.

I explained in a previous message that I had tried to do what you 
described, and I could not reproduce your bug. Everything came out 
consistently, as I would expect.

Ok. Describe exactly the steps I need to take, from an empty zope, to 
reproduce your bug. I'll try this out and either tell you what you've 
done wrong, or give you a patch to ZCatalog, depending where the fault 
lies. Don't forget to say exactly what version of Zope and what version 
of Python you're using.
