I guess I am coming from a Database thoughts, and with indexes, you need to maintain them over time.
The other reason I ask, our search using ferret and aaf seems to lock up about once a week for us. Rebuilding the index fixes the problem. If I start and stop rails and mongrel, it does not fix it the only thing that causes the lock up is a search.
