This is actually not impossible for certain backends and I believe possible 
for all our web history backends. We store their cached text in the 
textcache, so we could use the previous properties in the index along with 
the textcache cached text to migrate the information for the new index. The 
reason we need the textcache data is we do not store the text content of the 
documents in the index itself.
