Hi Ben, The issue was due to a bug in the way we generated index entries for your entities. In addition to the correct index entries, a faulty one was generated. We're working on ensuring this bug doesn't happen again right now.

Bugs will inevitably surface, but these are the exceptions, rather than the rule. -Nick Johnson On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:58 PM, Ben Nevile <[email protected]> wrote: > > Great, yes, now it is fixed.
