Bug: Search finds items in empty note files
I did a search on "miss the mark", and the search engine 'found' this phrase in my note files. The problem is that my note files are empty. Here are some screen shots.

It looks like L4 "missed the mark" here [;)]

I'd say they originally had that text and then you removed it!
Here's how I reproduced it:
- create a Note file
- Add a Note from resource and add content that includes the phrase
- do a Basic Search of Entire Library for the phrase (reset the search as it may not find it first time)
- delete the Note
- Search still finds the phrase in empty Note file!
- but the next search may not find it
And it can be incredibly difficult to find text in a note file!

Very true, they at one time (several months ago) did have text, and I did remove the text from these note files (several months ago), and I have upgraded L4 beta a couple of times since my note files had data.
What I believe is happening is, that once data has been removed (deleted/changed) from the note files it is not being removed from the index.

When I looked in the log it took about 3 minutes for the Document Manager to rebuild the document index after creating or deleting a note entry. Before that happened a search would not find a new Note phrase or would continue to find a deleted Note phrase. But this is obviously not always the case!

I still have this issue. I am wondering if items are being removed from the index when the user uses the command "import delete all."
