Hey Ken, Thanks for your reply. When I wrote '5|6' I ment that this is a multiValued field with two values '5' and '6', rather than the literal string '5|6' (and any Tokenizer). Does your reply still holds? That is, are multiValued fields dependent on the notion of tokenization to such a degree so that I cant use str type with them meaningfully? if so, it seems weird to me that I should be able to define a str multiValued field to begin with..
