well, i cited  DCWorkflow as a prime _example_ - i have the same problem
with almost _any_ product search.

another example picked at random: i went to the downloads page
and clicked on "examples" then clicked on "Quick Survey." in the
description of this product the author cites "TinyTablePlus" as
required. enter "TinyTablePlus" into the search box and you'll
get 5 hits - none of which will lead you to the TinyTablePlus
product...

i consider this a real problem and not a very good advertisement
for zcatalog. but then, i have _yet_ to grok zcataloging either.
<sigh>
