Re: nnir.el and absent files

[Justus-bulk@Piater.name]

Hi -

Replying to my own posting:

I've made a trivial change to fix this for the swish++ backend by
simply testing each file for readability. See below for a diff with
respect to my previous version of nnir.el with nnmaildir support at
http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~piater/test/nnir.el ; I've now
replaced this file by the new one including the absent-file fix.

I consider this a workaround; I think desktop search engines should
offer the option of not returning files that have been removed since
the last index generation.
