- There are sometimes problems with document deletions: the index can
-  get in a state where deleted or moved documents are not purged from the
-  index (the log file says that the doc are deleted, but they aren't
-  actually). When this happens, the only solution currently is to reindex
-  from scratch (recollindex -z). This is due to a xapian bug, which will be
