If I not mistake, new code simply DO NOT do what is it not asked for.

I.e. Even for TEXT field, if you say just

    create TEXT field INDEXED

You will get index not by words, but only on first 255 bytes.

You need SELF say 

    create TEXT field INDEXED and INDEX by words

To get it

We will check this.
Or you will check this also in betas.


------------
Also in Valentina 2.0 Valentina can do NON-indexes search by field(s).

So if field is not indexed, then V2.0 will not build index for it
As did Valentina 1.x

But if you SORT on non-indexed field then Valentina still will index it
automatically. Just very not effective to do sort without index.
