If you have created an index for your 'certain field' as a ZCTextIndex
(don't forget to set up the lexicon) then you should just be able to add the
search in the same query:

results=zcat({'query' : '/habraken/documenten/dftest','level' : 0,
'textindexfield' : 'searchphrase'})

To make the search more useful you can substitute a variable for the
hardcoded search phrase in the above example.

searchvar = 'searchphrase'
results=zcat({'query' : '/habraken/documenten/dftest','level' : 0,
'textindexfield' : searchvar})
