>From the Zope book:

TextIndex
     Searches text. Use this kind of index when you want a full-text search.
FieldIndex
     Searches objects for specific values. Use this kind of index when you
want to search date objects, numbers, or specific strings.
KeywordIndex
     Searches collections of specific values. This index is like a
FieldIndex, but it allows you to search collections rather than single
values.

I don't see your problems at this time. Every index has its special purpose.
If you need more help provide some informations about the things you
are trying to index.

Andreas
