Even computing the value for a text index (without any change to the index itself) can be very expensive: it may include expensive fetching of a large object, an expensive conversion (text extraction), expensive splitting and comparison to what is currently indexes. I would not like this overhead for e.g. workflow state changes by default. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
