Actually, these are bugs in the Retriever code. Because much of it
still assumes there's a separate wordlist file that gets merged into
a word db, so these things happen. But that's my point--it's a *bug*,
not a requirement to run htmerge.
One of the reasons for redesigning the databases was to allow
searches on databases being updated. Granted, this means the
databases may have data that needs to be purged, but searches should
still work. The only advantage of running htmerge would be to purge
words from deleted documents. (This is one of my reasons for wanting
to make an httools directory, but that will have to come later.)
Does this make sense?
