[Zope] Searching the Catalog

[Geir Bækholt]

the neatest way would be to edit your zclass and the catalog :

make a python-script named for example "allText" in your zclass containing the following :

return context.field1 + context.field2 + context.field3
(this has to be done with pythonmethods in versions prior to 2.3)

where field# is the name of your zclass attributes
next make a textindex in your catalog named allText , and set up your
input form to use this field (which should now contain text from all
your attributes)

good luck
:-)
