In theory TS will mark records that are deleted and won't return them in
searches. In reality, for reasons no one has managed to track down yet
this doesn't always happen.
To remove the nil results, add the :retry_stale option to your searches.
It can be set to true, false, or an int. This will tell TS to remove any
nil results, mark the relevant record as deleted in the index, and
perform a new query to fill in the gap(s).
People.search("james", :retry_stale => true)
I've been meaning to add a global TS config option that enables this by
default for some time, but haven't got around to it yet.
