Op fields are not searchable. So, they normally don't matter. But in general, 
once they are defined, they should not change. For the record, you can 
generally insert non-searchable fields anywhere and it doesn't matter. Only 
the searchable fields like loginuid, uid, pid, exe, etc matter to the parser.
