Yikes, just learned another dangerous caveat of the lazy evaluating.
Apparently, this is no longer a good thing to do:
@my_items = Item.search("pancake")
@my_items.delete(item_i_dont_want_in_search_result)
In 0.9.8 this harmlessly removed an item from the search result
array. In 0.9.9 it actually was deleting random fields from the
"item_i_dont_want_in_search_result" item in the database.
