Hey David, Thanks for the quick response. Sorry about the delay in responding, we had a deadline we had to meet for this app we're developing and that has been taking up most of my life.
I am having a lot of trouble reproducing the bug I first reported. I talked to the writer of the Searchable plugin (Seth) and he is stumped as well. It seems that creating an index from scratch works fine and the bug only occurs when documents are added or deleted. A weird thing happens though once searchable starts updating the index. It creates folders inside the index directory called development and production. Seth claims that this is not desired behavior but I guess I was wondering if having files or directories like that in the index directory would cause it to behave strangely? Another question I have is can certain characters in the text that is being indexed cause problems when trying to retrieve search results? Should I be filtering out any non-alphanumerics? Not sure if that matters at all but like I said I am new to this.
