I find it quite handy that it acquires the value. I often define "global" methods that I call in an acquired way. For instance one could be "MainTitle" which returns a part of the Title only (used to make heads and subheads out of one Title).

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
