I reported this bug in http://collector.zope.org/Zope/309 and wrongly rejected. That's why I report this issue again.

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

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 values. 

Practical 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. 


Thanks in advance
