[Zope-Annce] FieldedTextIndex 0.1 Released

[Casey Duncan]

I am pleased to announce the initial release of FieldedTextIndex, a new ZCatalog index based on ZCTextIndex. Its purpose is to allow indexing and searching of any number of textual content fields using a single index. The schemas of the content do not need to be known when the index is configured. The index will automatically add new fields as they are discovered in content. The idea is to replace a proliferation of small text indexes (one per searchable field) with a single one that provided better functionality and convenience.

FieldedTextIndex is designed to work with any schema system. From CMF Dublin Core and humble property sheets to Zope 3 schemas (Zope 3 to Zope 2 integration left as an exercise for the reader ;^). With a simple glue script, fields can be collected and aggregated into the index (samples provided).
