Amos, specifically no dtml commands will show up upon a search. I
believe this is because - is a stop character, but I'm not sure. Do you
know who I should talk to on this point?

I'm really frustrated with the searching on zope.org, too. I end up
using altavista a lot to search zope.org. An easy improvement would
be to have a help link that describes what one can & can't do in the
search input - stopwords, quotes, whatever. Just becase nobody else
does this doesn't mean we shouldn't :| And it could point out what we
use to enable searching in this large community site.

I would be interested but I don't know what one can & can't do in the search
input. Can you help me with this one, Michel?
