Thank you for the suggestion. I ended up biting the bullet and re-working my indexing logic. Luckily the system itself knows what the "current" version of a document is (otherwise it won't know which one to display to the user) for any given folder.
I was able to get a static method I could call passing in a folder name. The method returns the file name of the current version for that folder. Each time I am doing an incremental update if I find that a document from a folder hasn't changed I make sure it is the current version before moving on. If it isn't I remove it from the index. Than when I am creating a new index or adding files to an existing, for each file, I have to check the file I am adding to ensure it is the current version for the folder before adding it. As you can imagine this slows down indexing (creating a new or updating an existing) but it ensures content from an old version will never show up in a query.
