Weird stuff: Do extremely long strings for field-indexes break ZCatalog? I tried creating a field index of 80 characters of text, and noted the following: - sort_on won't work for that field - searching on another UNRELATED index (a TextIndex) resulted in fewer matches than before I added this long field index. Note: I noted the second issue after reindexing (updating) the catalog; I changed my code so that I truncated the field (the one indexed) to 10 characters in the python code, instead of 80. sort_on seemed to work ok, and a bunch more matches showed up.
