Good idea. I'll do it this way.

I compared more then a year old .pageindex with freshly created one
and noticed that old .pageindex contains lot of pages that no longer
exist - deleted pages and draft pages. Deleted pages are just listed,
draft pages contain page keywords. It does not seem to be a problem
from user point of view (search does not return these pages) but
shouldn't these pages be deleted completely from .pageindex? Or at
least, shouldn't be draft pages deleted  with clearing of keywords in
.pageindex?
