Search, Query
Plone 內建的搜尋功能由 plone.app.search 模組提供，可以透過 @@search?SearchableText=關鍵字 或 @@search?Subject%3Alist=關鍵字 網址形式送出要求，搜尋結果可以進一步過濾或排序。
portal_properties/site_properties/Properties search_enable_description_search
搭配 portal_type 來執行搜尋功能，是常見的作法，但有下列限制：1) 想要搜尋的型別必須事先寫在程式碼裡 2) 型別名稱更換名稱的話會造成困擾
Accessing the Portal Catalog Tool
明確知道 site root 名稱的時候，可以直接存取：
portal_catalog = mysite.portal_catalog
不知道 site root 名稱的時候，就要利用 getMultiAdapter 或 getToolByName 工具：
context = aq_inner(self.context) tools = getMultiAdapter((context, self.request), name=u'plone_tools') portal_url = tools.catalog()
還有一種方法，是利用 traverse (acquisition) 機制來找尋，但會耗費系統資源，並不建議使用：
# Use magical Zope acquisition mechanism portal_catalog = context.portal_catalog
在 TAL 語法裡，也有類似的 traverse 方式：
<div tal:define="portal_catalog context/portal_catalog" />
使用 getToolByName 函式是最常見的方法：
from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName catalog = getToolByName(context, 'portal_catalog')
取消安全檢查，可提昇搜尋效能。
results = catalog(portal_type='Document', path={'query': folder_path, 'depth': 1})
# Even Easier with plone.api from plone import api rsults = api.content.find(context=context, depth=1)

未指定 sort_on 參數時，預設使用 Okapi BM25 Ranking 結果，這可能導致 Title 和 SearchableText 的排序不同。排序結果不穩定的討論。當 Sort on 選了 ZCTextIndex 會遇到 CatalogError 要避掉。像 Products.CMFPlone/browser/syndication/templates/search-rss.pt 原本沒事，昇級 4.3.12 後 CatalogError: Unknown sort_on index (relevance)

Indexes
The catalog has a set of methods accessing its indexes:
- indexes() -- the list of index ids
- index_objects() -- the list of indexes (not acquisition wrapped)
- getIndexObjects() -- the list of indexes (acquisition wrapped)

Full-text Searching
SearchableText 是 Plone 用來進行全文搜尋的索引項目，自製型別可以 override 運作方式：
from plone.indexer import indexer
@indexer(IPhoto)
def SearchableText(obj):
return ''.join([obj.Title(), obj.Description(), obj.caption.output])
Products.EasyNewsletter/indexers.py
Dexterity 需要額外設定才能生效，collective.dexteritytextindexer 是個輔助工具，先註冊 Behavior 後，再指定 Field：
<property name="behaviors"> <element value="collective.dexteritytextindexer.behavior.IDexterityTextIndexer" /> </property>
from collective import dexteritytextindexer
class IMyType(form.Schema):
"""My Type
"""
dexteritytextindexer.searchable('varenummer')
varenummer = schema.TextLine(
title=_(u"Varenummer"),
)
plone.directives.form 已被取消 Schema 設定範例 IRichText Behavior 可能無法被搜尋：
<field name="specialfield" type="zope.schema.TextLine" indexer:searchable="true"> </field>
Grok 範例：
@indexer(IMyType)
def timeIndexer(obj):
if obj.year_start:
try:
time = int(obj.year_start)
except ValueError:
time = None
else:
time = None
return time
grok.global_adapter(timeIndexer, name='time_start')

Unindexing Boolean Indexes Is Slow
And Or 運算 (可能只有 KeywordIndex 支援)
Folderish Type 包含的 Type 也會產生索引值，利用 if obj.portal_type 判斷後，回傳 None 來改善這個結果。
Hanno Schlichting: Someone needs to look at each place where None values are indexed into the catalog and decide whether or not that was wanted or even required behavior. Some of them might need to be switched to using a different dummy value. Another approach would be to ignore any inserts of None but raise a warning instead of an exception. discussion log

在目錄裡的項目，如果要針對目錄進入索引：
@indexer(IMyType)
def category(obj):
if obj.portal_type != 'MyType':
return None
else:
return obj.aq_parent.absolute_url().split('/')[-1]
item = portal_catalog({'getPrice':{'query':[2,1000],'range':'min:max'}})
<input type="text"
id="range-start"
name="created.query:record:list:date:ignore_empty">
date_range_query = {'query': (start, end), 'range': 'min:max'}
非必填的欄位，可能因為空值，造成 TextIndexer 發生錯誤，參考 collective.nitf 範例。
CompositeIndex: 包括多個 Index 屬性值，透過預先運算過的 InterSection 來減少回傳值的數量。
getCounter: support cache key generation Proof of concept: catalog caching with plone.memoize

Reminder: Never register a index in catalog.xml because the index will be purged when reinstalling your package. Instead register new indexes in your setuphandlers.py.

References from Archetypes to Dexterity
Archetypes ReferenceField Index
Reverse reference relationlist broken, circular containment error
LinguaPlone and other tools use relations, UUIDs based catalogs, to manage the linking. In the ZMI go to http:/[mysiteroot]/reference_catalog/Indexes/relationship/manage_workspace Tab "Browse" and look for the firstcolumn area "translation of" . I guess these links are there but now broken. If you do something that enforces the change of UUIDs of objects (during Import ord recreation by copying) but do not take care of the static text of the saved UUIDs in the relations, youre result is loosing all the connections. I had the same when duplicating example content that contains relations between Archteype content. As a non programmer you get nuts! Why your stuff is broken just after renaming something in the ZMI, seems weird to me, because UUIDs are there to avoid this. Doing the same in Plone is necessary better because The Plone Application cannot guess everything changed externally. Sometimes it helps to regenerate the catalogs or reinitialize LinguaPlone by invoking the view [mybaseurl]/@@language-setup-folders in the site root. Please toy around with this only in a testing copy. Never in live data! For further hints more precise description is necessary of what you are doing exactly. Especially the versions of Plone & LinguaPlone, the location and type of objects you are manipulating and every particular step of your "surgery". That also because it may behave different for e.g. Plone 3.

Restriction
限制 Search Portlet 只在特定目錄裡搜尋: 在 search.pt 的 <div class="LSBox"> 加進 <input type="hidden" name="path" value="/some-folder" />
The catalog automatically filters all queries (except those made using unrestrictedSearchResults) using the allowedRolesAndUsers index to only include items for which the user has the View permission. You need to add a custom indexer for that index so that all items are indexed as viewable by the Anonymous role.
contentFilter={"portal_type" : ("FileAttachment",)}
Static Text Portlet 的文字預設不會被搜尋
Products.PloneBooking 的 Python (Script) 和 Page Temple 不再能呼叫 reference_catalog 和 uid_catalog 的 getObject method，要改用 portal_catalog 來存取。plone.jsonapi.routes 在 Plone 5 無法使用 reference_catalog 工具。
Not Returning All the Objects
查詢結果與實際數量如果有差異，原因可能是：
- 權限不足。
- 期限失效。
- 使用多國語系功能，只回傳現有語文的內容。
Unrestricted Search
特定的場合裡，例如執行資料移植時，使用 results = catalog.unrestrictedSearchResults(...) 會更方便，這種方式不會檢查 effective 和 allowed_roles_and_users 的 index。
unrestrictedSearchResults vs allowedRolesAndUsers
Look for Objects with Missing Value or None as Key
AdvancedQuery
Products.AdvancedQuery 是改善 ZCatalog 搜尋功能的 Zope 模組，它相容既有的索引功能，但允許 and, or, not 運算子的任何組合，也支援 incremental filtering，還有點擊數加權的排序提示。搭配 Products.ManagableIndex 和 dm.incrementalsearch 的話，效果會更好。它的原始碼並未透過公開方式管理。
