Yes.

Yes.  Omission of the index is equivalent to putting in cql.serverChoice
scr "term"  That's just the way CQL is defined.

cql.serverChoice is then defined as searching any index that the server
wants to. (Whereas it probably should say that it may perform any search
that it deems appropriate)

Index Omission == cql.serverChoice

You can of course leave out the default from your ZeeRex record, because
your server does clever things with serverChoice, and hence there is no
default index.
