  Description     : Zope product providing enhanced search functions

AdvancedQuery is a Zope product aimed to overcome several limitations of
ZCatalog's native search function.
..
Like ZCatalog's search, it supports elementary index searches. While
ZCatalog can combine such elementary searches only by "and",
AdvancedQuery allows them to be combined arbitrary with & (and), | (or)
and ~ (not).
..
While ZCatalog supports an efficient sorting via an index on one level,
AdvancedQuery supports sorting via any level of (field) indexes.
Moreover, it sorts the result incrementally -- only as far as you access
your result. This can drastically speed up the time required for
sorting. It uses Python's generators for this (and thus requires Python
2.2 or better).


* I'm packaging this product as dependency of Zenoss (#361253).


Cheers,

Bernd Zeimetz
