Queries to the Posts Collection on Permlink should probably be indexed

[SquidLord]

I have been trying to use SteamData in order to connect voting patterns to various post-related content features, but I have had a significant snag, in that doing a query to the Posts collection, looking for a specific permlink never seems to return.

Interestingly, trying to do the same thing in Robo RT with a findOne request also seems to just spin its wheels when given a permlink to resolve.

Given that a permlink is the only connector between the Operations collection and the Posts collection, this provides certain issues.

Could this be because the SteamData indices for Posts don't include permlink? Or am I missing some other form of connection between those two collections?

(It's really quiet around here.)
