[Zope-dev] Catalog Text Indexing

[Terry Kerr]

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

Terry
