As background: we built the ZCatalog and the Search interface according to 
the ZCatalog HOWTO/Tutorial. Then we eliminated all the fields except "raw" 
and "bobobase_modification_time"

Now, what we are trying to do is search by keyword and/or modification date 
(like on the Zope site.) How can we do this? I have attached our revised 
search interface below: Everytime we use only the date field, it returns no 
data found.

The second and possibly related question is: After I have the default 
search interface as defined by the ZCatalog HOWTO, how do I actually search 
by date? Every time I enter a date in the bobobase_modification_time field, 
it returns no entries found.

many thanks,
