Yes, presumably because no one sets XAPIAN_LONG_TERM_METHOD=hash in the environment. Do you have a reason for this?

Actually, it's not an enviroment setting. It's a django setting

XAPIAN_LONG_TERM_METHOD = 'hash'

but in any case, I don't know why anyone would want that. What it does is rather than truncate a long term in the index, it replaces that term with a sha224 hash of the term, but that raises the question of how/why one would be searching for the hash rather than the term.
