Who said anything about searching? :-)

A ZCatalogs management interface contains a function
"Find Items to ZCatalog". This function performs a recursive
search and adds all objects matching the specified criteria to the
Catalog. This works quite well with DMTL Documents, as long as 
one does it via the management interface.

I asked about how to perform this function (to spell it out again: 
_adding_ a _DTML Document_) programmatically, i.e. via DTML, 
of from Python code.

There is a How-To "Adding ZClass Instances Programmatically", 
and a lot of gobbledigoop about when, how and why. But I haven't 
found anything about how to "index" or "reindex" a plain and 
simple DTML Document.
