WHen an object is moved it's deleted from it's original location, so the
manage_beforeDelete method gets called and it unindexes the object.  Then
the object is added and another method is called (manage_afterAdd) which
indexes it.

call the method reindex_object():

<dtml-call "reindex_object()"> in DTML
or
self.reindex_object() in python
