[Zope-CMF] How to do globbing searches on the id index w/ ZCa talog

[Braun Brelin]

Hmmm...Changing the id index to be a text index rather than a 'field'
index, doesn't seem to have made a difference.  My little test script,
which looks like this: 

searchid='Controlled_Document.2003-05-06.2805.*'
foo = context.portal_catalog(id=searchid)
print foo
return printed

returns an empty list.  Adding a full literal ID does return a brain
instance, so I know that the portal_catalog seems to work.  

Anyone with more experience in ZCatalog's able to help me out here?  I
have a hard time believing that I'm the first person who's ever wanted
to do a globbing search with object id's. 

Thanks,
Braun Brelin
