And thank you very much for this! =) You led several unsuspecting
victims into my hands. Someone claimed that just about every tutorial he
went to at least mentioned Zope.

CodeCatalog uses MySQL and Andy Dustman's MySQL DA for the searches.
Indexing of code is a custom affair, I believe. 

I linked the site from Zope.org while at the Expo.
