Hi, Is there any particular reason that a Text Index will index an object by acquiring the value to index? Shouldn't it not index at all if the value doesn't exist on the object? The only way I can get my objects to not be indexed if they don't have the indexing attribute is to set the attribute to None, reindex, then remove the attribute. By make this simple change to lib/python/Products/PluginIndexes/TextIndex/TextIndex.py 353c353,354 < source = getattr(obj, self.id) ---
from Acquisition import aq_base source = getattr(aq_base(obj), self.id)
The object is only indexed if the value exists on that object. This fixes my problem. I believe KeyWord Indexes have the same problem Terry -- Terry Kerr (terry@bizarsoftware.com.au) Chief Technical Officer Bizar Software Pty Ltd (www.bizarsoftware.com.au) Phone: +61 3 9563 4461 Fax: +61 3 9563 3856 ICQ: 79303381
