Ruslan,

OK, I've done that (and when index by words is operational I'll test searches).

Now, what would be the best "2.x way" of also letting me sort on the 
authors field in a case-insensitive manner? In 1.x I used this method:

  authorsSortMethod = CreateTextField("authorsSortMethod", 128, 
"English", Valentina.fIndexed, "Upper(authors)")


Is this still the best way in 2.x?


Thanks,

Jon
