I am shooting in the dark, but here is one thing that
seems not right: your 'Year' index is integer. I think
ZCatalog only deals with strings. You may need to change
the integer to string. If 'Year' is a property created
inside Zope, try to use a string type instead of integer
type.

I'll do some more experiments later, but first, change the
integer to string and see whether this fixes the problem on
the 'Year'.
