Today's show opens with an usability bug (that's what it looks like to me, anyway). Sit back and feel free to buy an albatross from the strange man.
I've got a ZCatalog named Catalog, living its normal life at /.
When I'm in /Catalog/manage_catalogIndexes the index names are <a href>'s. Strange, since they all link to /Catalog.
Hmmm. I think this may be an aborted feature. It will either be removed or finished.
In the ZCatalog.py's doc string, it says: "[...] ZCatalog's can index either 'Field' values of object, or 'Text' values [...]". What about Keyword indexes? Am I confusing myself?
Probably. Keyword indexes work too.
And finally, the thing I really came here for, what good is the size? And who calculates it? I have three objects that has the attribute sales_line, although the sales_line index' size is 847. Clues?
This is the number of objects indexed by the index. If it's not working, that's a bug.
Also, could anyone point me to some good documentation (reference material would be best) about how the different Indexes work? I'm having a bit of a struggle with numbers, FieldIndexes and TextIndexes.
No. ;-) This is one of the things I'd like to get done soon.
