I find that most of my zope site's are unsearchable with the find option - it only takes one file in the system from one product to prevent searching ever working again, and the exception thrown usually gives no clue as to where the error is. I've written a little hack to /lib/python/OFS/FindSupport.py that adds a try-except around the search, so that the search can still proceed.

It marks the pages that cause errors as found in the search, but adds "Error Searching: " to their ID. This is useful for spotting the problem, but breaks the link in the results, so it needs polishing up. The patch is attached.

I can not reproduce this error. How can it be triggered with a decent Zope installation?

[Tres Seaver (tseaver)]

We need a recipe for reproducing the failure here.
