Well, this sounded like it would do just fine, however, it doesn't seem to
work. :(
I'm using basically a zsearchinterface, and if I enter something like inter*,
it comes up and says there was no matches, despite being able to find plenty
of matches if I enter internet. Also, the and and notand don't seem to work
either. Also, entering internet* also turns up nothing.
I didn't setup Zope here, so I'm wondering if something could have been
missed out then that could cause these things to not work? Or perhaps a
version too old? Or could it be a problem with my dtml not talking to the
Zcatalog in the correct manner?
TIA
