This add a property to an object but it has nothing to do with adding 
*metadata* to a ZCatalog instance. Please read the ZCatalog chapter of
the Zope Book 2.7 edition. It carefully explains what *metadata* in the 
ZCatalog context means. The short version: a Zcatalog search returns 
*proxy* objects and the attrs of the proxy object contain only the values 
of the original object where you have configured a metadata in the Zcatalog.
