 Hi all,

I was wondering how to customize the advanced search form of a Plone
Site. I've edited/customized the "search form" file in
portal_skins/portal_forms.

 I actually don't want users to see all the content types checkboxes 

 available but only a few ones.

The code that renders the list of (content types) check boxes starts

with:

 <span tal:repeat="type
python:container.portal_types.listContentTypes()">

 If I simply replace this line by the following:

 <span tal:repeat="type
python:container.portal_types.listContentTypes()[0:3]">

 (which actually only strips the list to its four first elements), the 

 search form doesn't behave correctly anymore: it seems to always 

 search in all the content types, even if the user has unchecked them 

 all..?

 Do you know why this is behaving like that?

 Do you know HOW I can pick only a few content-types from this list to 

 display?
