I think this is the way to go about it, and it would be simple to add.
Each time you visit a page it's reindexed, so the expiry date will be
reset.

It might also be good to add an item to the browser extensions which is
basically "remove this page from the index", which would do a one-time
removal of it if you, um, stumbled onto some, ahem, inappropriate page.

It might be nice to tie clearing the cache with clearing the index if we
can, but that's the extent to which I think Beagle's indexing should tie
into browser history.
