[Zope-dev] SearchIndex Splitter lowercase indexes?

[Christian Robottom Reis]

Hi, I've been testing SearchIndex's Splitter here, and I'm finding the
behaviour only a tiny bit strange: it converts the words it splits to
lowercase. Is this intentional? Example:

>>> import SearchIndex.Splitter
>>> import SearchIndex.Lexicon
>>> s = SearchIndex.Splitter.Splitter("Foo Bar Baz",
	SearchIndex.Lexicon.stop_word_dict)
>>> s[0]
'foo'
>>> s.indexes('foo')
[0]

Why does this happen? It makes TextIndex's position() call behave
unexpectedly until you do some tests with the Splitter itself!

Take care,
