[Zope] ZCatalog resources

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

There really should be more documentation on setting up searching and
indexing strategies then exists now within the scope of Zope collective
knowledge.  That said, I think such a document (howto or whatever) is going
to have to wait until 2.4 final is released and people start playing with
Pluggable Indexes...

Perhaps you can be more specific about your problems.  I suppose you are
working with Text Indexes?  What sorts of indexes and queries are you trying
to set up; and on what sorts of datatypes?  I'm sure that I (and possbily
others on the list) would be able to help guide you in your set up of the
indexes you need in a manner that suits your search case.

Is there a good resource for ZCatalog issues.  I've tried Chapter 9 of the
Zope
book, but only get the result if they have because they have only two
objects.

My experience with the ZCatalog is that it returns far too many objects, the
vast majority of which do not satsify the criteria.  When I ask for the
first
set, it returns a correct result.  However, changing the criteria and
resubmitting (by going back, chaning the criteria, and resubmitting) gives
me
the exact same (overly large) result set which now does NOT fit the search
criteria.  I need a catalog but don't want to roll it out to users if I
can't
get it to work correctly.

Is there some nice neat resource that explains how to get the ZCatalog to do
one's bidding (or tell me what I'm doing wrong).

Cheers,

Ron
