Geoff and I have been discussing a strange bit of behaviour in htsearch,
when you run the new version on an older DB. htsearch was dropping
results from the search results pages, and when sorting on something
other than score, it would sometime die altogether.
The missing results, as far as I can tell, are because the new DBs
don't map URLs to lower case, so the new htsearch can't find the
DocumentRef for URLs with upper case letters, when searching the
old DBs.
The missing DocumentRefs caused problems with title and date sorts,
which are addressed by this patch:
