[Zope] Howto search multiple fields of ZCatalog

[Michael]

Are you using ZClasses?  if so, you can write a short script catting the 
fields together and place it in your Extensions directory calling it 
something like Keyword_Search.py. :

def getSearchSource(self):
	return self.field_one+"\n"+self.field_two+"\n"+self.field_three

Then create an external method in your ZClass called getSearchSource.
Now you can create a text index in your Catalog called Keyword_Search, and 
that should do it.
