   The idea is to call the Catalog with indicies and values. You can do AND
search this way:

   <dtml-in "Catalog(title='Title', body='Modie')" size=50 start=query_start>
("title" and "body" are the names of indicies you have in the Catalog)

and your can do OR search this way:

   <dtml-in "Catalog(title='Title') + Catalog(body='Modie')" size=50 start=query_start>
(I hope you understand the difference between AND and OR searches)

The OR search, perhaps, will return duplicate results. There are ways to
avoid them, but I only want to show you the idea in simple words.

   BTW, do you know every page on zope.org has "View DTML source" link? I
stole catalog seraching there! :)

Oleg.
