Well, maybe I was not so clear about this issue. Sorry.

I do not think the catalog should reindex all after adding a TextIndex but AT LEAST KEEP THE ALREADY INDEXED OBJECTS VALUES.

Example:
Suppose I have a TextIndex called 'description' and it is already indexed. I have 237 # values on this key, real values not 'None'-values.

Now I add another TextIndex called 'abstract'. I do not do anything more with this. just added.

Now I make use of 'description' in a catalog search and I get no returns. Nothing is indexed under 'description'. Strange becaues before I had 237 # values. I look into the Catalog and see that there still are 237 # values but now they are all 'None'-values !!!

That's why I get no results from a search.

What I presume the Catalog should work is as following:
When I add a new TextIndex then the indexing done before should not be lost. 

This is an issue discovered during another bug report (see also http://collector.zope.org/Zope/297)


Thanks in advance

This is intentional behaviour. Adding a new index to a 
catalog will not automatically reindex the objects already
in the catalog.

I found a bug I about TextIndex.

When adding a TexIndex the already cataloged objects get empty values e.g. (None, None, ...). So every time I add a new TextIndex I have to go to the tab 'Find Objects' and find and catalog all objects again. Then the None-values get the real values again .... and everybody is happy ;-)
