You had a bad night? The pointer to the keyword argument and the hints 
where to look for additional information were perfectly fine. So what was 
insulting? This list is *not* a professional helpdesk. We answer to 
questions on a voluntary basis. Even as a newbie (if you are one) you 
should be able to perform additional investigations on your own. What's 
wrong with
googling for "Docfindertab"? I think we don't have to perform such trivial 
tasks for you. You expected help for you problem - you got help and the 
right solution. But speaking for almost all other volunteers on this list:
we do except that you do basic investigations on your own initiative.

It's available in the latest Zope 2.9 version. Since you did not provide an 
version information I could not smell what you're using so I looked into 
the most current version. Otherwise you can always
look at the sources (that's why it is called open-source ; you have the 
freedom to look at the sources) and "grep -r" is always a perfect tool to 
find related code parts.
