[Zope-CMF] concrete example of using path in portal_catalog search?

Aside from google, is there any way to search the archives?
http://groups.google.com/ doesn't work, I assume?

Suppose I have a path:

  /a/b/c/d/e

and I want to search for NewsItems in b ONLY -- that is, if there's one in
d, I do not want it in the search results.  I assume what you mean is that
it is not possible to restrict portal_catalog.searchResults via path in this
way.

Thankfully, that is not a big concern for me right now.

What I ended up having to use is a path={'query'='/foo', 'level': n}
parameter to searchResults since the folder I wanted to search resides in a
VirtualRootMonster'd folder and I didn't want to have to specify the path to
that; i.e., I used level 1 and just search the virtual path; e.g.,

  <div tal:define="results python:here.portal_catalog(
    portal_type='News Item',
    sort_on='Date',
    sort_order='reverse',
    path={'query': '/newsitems', 'level': 1})">
    <div tal:repeat="obj results"
         tal:replace="structure python:obj.getObject().CookedBody()">
    </div>
  </div>

Thanks,
