You can have one field, and copy the value so that it gets searched
for in all the fields when you make the catalog call.  But you don't
want to do that, because Catalog will AND the results from all
the fields.

The Advanced ZCatalog Searching HowTo shows how to OR the fields
programatically.  But what may work better for you would be to
create a method on all of your objects that returns the concatenation
of the values of all the fields of interest.  Index *that* field,
and search that field.
