[Zope] Something odd about ZCatalog...

Hello folks,

I'm just reporting some general weirdness with ZCatalog.

I'm sure by now almost everyone has tried the CD class and catalog, right?
Okay, I just so happen to have a CD titled "For You For Me".

ZCatalog did not like it. Searching finds no entry with that data. I tried "Dare
to Dream" and it works on words "dare" and "dream"...but not "to".

(Yes, in all cases they are strings - textindex)

So I thought...maybe it's the title - some strange restriction...I tried in
other fields (eg. artist) and still...nada.

I have found that ZCatalog does not like the words: for, you, me, to. Why? Are
these somehow special words? Searching for these words fail everytime.

Also, ZCatalog-aware does not seem to update the catalog properly. A manual
"update catalog" is still needed.

Has anyone else encountered these problems? I tried other classes (non CD) and I
get the same weirdness...ZCatalog cannot search for those words above. (there
might well be more "phantom" words about...)

Could it be that ZCatalog considers words of less than 4 letters..."non words"?
