CatalogQuery does not add any new Zope object classes you can create
(yet), so this behavior is correct. It adds a "query" method to
ZCatalog. Just create a ZCatalog like usual and use the "query" method
of it to use the product.

As in:

<dtml-in expr="MyZCatalog.query('title != 'spam and eggs')">
