- Because PrincipiaSearchSource (which is probably what you
are using for your full text search) is a property(method?) of DTML document and
method, but not of your new product..

try making a pythonmethod or external method (pythonmethod
is simpler) inside your
Zclass containing something like :

   return string.join((self.yourAttribute1, self.yourAttribute2, self.yourAttribute3), '; ')


where yourAttributeX are the attributes of your Zclass..add
as many you like...

name it PrincipiaSearchSource if that's what you're using
for the full text search.. (might be 'raw' too...)
