Old thread:

In the old system one could find all objects that had a specific person 
listed.  In the new system, you state that you don't index role or person 
objects but you also don't index the strings tech-c or admin-c inside 
inetnum objects for example.  This makes it then impossible to find what 
objects a person is listed on.  Imagine someone retires and you want to 
change all his/her objects that list them - it used to be able to be done 
with the old free text search.  The new one doesn't allow it.
