We can use the indexes we created in the last chapter to further improve the talk-list.
If the chapters about views seem complex, the now shown custom search addon might be a great alternative until you feel comfortable writing views and templates. There are several tools that allow you to add amazing custom searches and content-listings through the web in Plone.

We use the new catalog indexes to provide the data for the widgets and search the results. For other use-cases we could also use either the built-in vocabularies (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.vocabularies) or create custom vocabularies for this.
* Custom vocabularies ttw using `Products.ATVocabularyManager <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.ATVocabularyManager>`_
* Programming using Vocabularies: http://docs.plone.org/external/plone.app.dexterity/docs/advanced/vocabularies.html
