Marking as INVALID.

Because it's faster than using the database, and it's no big deal.

If you're really trying to set this up rather than just spouting hypothetical
situations, then perhaps I can see the issue. Otherwise we'll end up debating
all day over an edge case no one actually has.

> taizhongbus.jidanni.org -> mediawiki-1.11.0

You can specify a different position file if you absolutely must, see the docs
in the header of updateSearchIndex.php
