[Zope-dev] Q2: ZCatalog Intelligent Objects

Hi,

Here's the second question:

2. I've seen various mentions of that fact that objects being catalogued
can be intelligent about what gets catalogued, for example: stripping
out HTML, but where can I find out how to produce an object that does
this?

Does it make a difference if it's a ZClass-based object or a python
class-based object?

Does it make a difference if it's CatalogAware or not?

How does the 'update catalog' button interact with this?

This could make a hacky-workaround for question 1: If, when an object
was catalogued, it actually indexed title and body together in an index
named 'text', it would solve the OR problem, but how do I do this so
that it works in all the cases?

cheers, and many thanks for any help :-)

Chris
