i don't think auto-indexer=false means that one is quite probably using 
a custom indexer. it just means one want to control indexing in the 
pallication rather then automatically.

i very agree that "also the custom indexer might want to differentiate 
between index-fulltext and index-properties" i would even say this is 
valid for the standard indexer as well.

i'm still very convinced that this makes sense.

this makes sense:
                         auto-index=true && index-fulltext=true && 
index-properites=true

this makes sense:
                         auto-index=false && index-fulltext=false && 
index-properites=false


this makes NO sense:
                         auto-index=true && index-fulltext=true && 
index-properites=false

this makes NO sense:
                         auto-index=true && index-fulltext=false && 
index-properites=false


i'll try another approach:

if we use index-fulltext as switch to turn on/off auto-indexing-nodes 
and use index-properties as switch to turn on/off auto-indexing-properties,
i think one can control everything as before with less configuration.

in other words, i think we can reduce the complexity of configuration by 
having the same power.

WDOT?
