[Zope-dev] Re: Zope 2.4.1

Where can I find the patch to Splitter.c to support [#+.] etc?  There are
only the changes to GlobbingLexicon.py in that thread...

I second the idea that this change to ZCatalog be considered for default
behavior.  In order to use ZCatalog for our online classifieds search
system, we had to make similar changes to Splitter.c and GlobbingLexicon's
get()...  Though our changes to Splitter.c were only to support smaller
words so I could search for things like 'C programmer,' I wouldn't mind
having the ability to search for 'C++ programmer'.  Just don't try searching
for 'C*' in this setup (it's mighty slow, and you shouldn't search with
wildcards and a single character).

Numbers should be accommodated too:  a search for a 2000 Mercedes C230 (
http://classifieds.signonsandiego.com/results?searchTextWeighted=2000+Merced
es+C230 ) would find matches for Mercedes, but 2000 and C230 would be
stop-words in the default behavior in Splitter.c; I had to modify the source
to use isalnum() instead of isalpha() so that they would not be caught as
stop-words...

Will is be in Zope 2.4.1? Not according to the placement of the
Zope2.4.1-test
tag in the CVS :-(
Neither will the re-organisation of the Splitters to compile on Mac OS X...
