Strange catalog behavior on Plone 5.1

You could try to use the environment variable described here:

plone/documentation/blob/5.1/develop/plone/searching_and_indexing/external-catalogs.rst

.. _using_external_catalogs:

=======================
Using external catalogs
=======================

.. admonition:: Description

    The Plone catalog can be extend to use external catalogs like Solr or Elasticsearch.
    Add-ons like collective.solr use that to hook into the catalog API and do some Indexing outside of Plone in Solr,
    which increases performance and flexibility of indexing a lot.


Implement IIndexingQueueProcessor
---------------------------------

To hook into the catalog one can implement the IIndexingQueueProcessor
`interface from Products.CMFCore <https://github.com/zopefoundation/Products.CMFCore/blob/master/Products/CMFCore/interfaces/_tools.py>`_.

This file has been truncated. show original

i.e.

CATALOG_OPTIMIZATION_DISABLED=y ./bin/test

Or, you could manually process the queue:

from Products.CMFCore.indexing import processQueue
...
do some operations that will trigger catalog indexing operations
...
processQueue()
check that the operations took place

I hope this helps
