Arghh... when I added the code to get the total number of matches I
didnt realize it would bite back this way :-). You are right, the
ignored document is not immediately removed from the index (that would
require recrawling the whole tree to figure out what should be
ignored) but silently removed from search results. The document itself
is present in the index, as evident from the count. The count should
be updated to hide the "little cheating" - thats a bug.

Its unlikely that this will get fixed before 0.2.16, so a bugzilla
entry would be helpful :). Issues in mailing list sometimes get lost.
