[Zope-dev] Minor typos/changes to ZCatalog.

Today's show opens with an usability bug (that's what it looks like to me,
anyway).  Sit back and feel free to buy an albatross from the strange man.

I've got a ZCatalog named Catalog, living its normal life at /.

When I'm in /Catalog/manage_catalogIndexes the index names are <a
href>'s.  Strange, since they all link to /Catalog.

In the ZCatalog.py's doc string, it says: "[...] ZCatalog's can index
either 'Field' values of object, or 'Text' values [...]".  What about
Keyword indexes?  Am I confusing myself?

And finally, the thing I really came here for, what good is the size?  And
who calculates it?  I have three objects that has the attribute
sales_line, although the sales_line index' size is 847.  Clues?

Also, could anyone point me to some good documentation (reference material
would be best) about how the different Indexes work?  I'm having a bit of
a struggle with numbers, FieldIndexes and TextIndexes.

Thanks!

This is Zope 2.3.1b1 by the way; Linux.
