Thank you. Why don't point fields get loaded by the Schema Browser's "Load Term
Info" button?
From what I've seen in the past on discussions, Point-based fields are
missing Term data. There's literally nothing to load.

This is listed definitively as the reason that such fields can't be used
for uniqueKey.
Other things supported by evidence: That point fields are very slow for
single-value lookups and really fast at range queries. I do not know if
these are related to the missing Term data.
You would need to talk to an expert on Lucene to find out why all other
numeric field types were deprecated when points were brought into existence.
Thanks,
