I assume you're using scriptindex, and are turning that scriptindex
input field into a term (probably a boolean term). Are you applying
the termcount *solely* to the type field? That won't do much here, and
other emergent properties are giving you the result you see.

If you're bumping the termcount to 100 for all terms you generate for
a Xapian document with type=album, that's a different matter. From
your description, I don't think you are doing - can you confirm one
way or the other?
