- some indexes show the number of indexed objects vs the number of indexes terms within the ZMI which is totally inconsistent. I think the ZMI should show the number of indexed objects. Index specific information e.g. the number of indexed terms should be shown within the indexes default view (if necessary). Objections?

This was already discussed (--> mailing list archives).
I (and others) find it more informative to get a feeling about the size of the index (rather than the number of indexed objects) in the overview.

There are two points of view: the "normal" user is confused if some indexes show up the number of indexed objects and others show the size of the index within the same column. This should be consistent. If would prefer the number of indexed objects within the default ZMI view and put index specific size information into their own default view.
[DM] All are with you (including myself) when you strive for consistency. The display should be consistent and correspond to the label in the table head. I am not with you with respect to "number of indexed objects" versus "size of the index". In fact *BOTH* as index specific (otherwise, it would not make any sense to list it in an index specific column). Maybe, a compromize would be to include both numbers? -- Dieter
