Then I will go with catalog approach. In this regard I need one more
clarification.
Say I have an object with following interface
class IMyObject(Interface):
id = TextLine(title=u'Object ID')
name = TextLine(title=u'Name')
...
and say I have registered the catalog like this
catalog['object_id'] = TextIndex('id', IMyObject)
The 'id' field is same as the key value under which the MyObject is
stored in its parent container. And say if the 'id' field value always
starts with a 'p' so its values are like 'p0001', 'p0002' etc.
So, while searching the catalog I query like this
catalog.apply({'object_id': 'p*'})
I get all the objects from the container as desired :) My problem is
solved, but out of curiosity I am asking this. If I query like this
catalog.apply({'object_id': '*'})
I get the following error
ParseError: Query contains only common words: '*'
So, How do I query a catalog to return all its objects?
I guess I can trust the order of objects returned while querying with
_limit option. Because I will be querying for the same keywords n number
of times with just the changing _limit values. Am I right?
Is there any detailed documentation explaining the query format to be
used while querying the catalog other than the documentation in pypi of
zope.catalog?
Thanks
Regards
