all?

we dont want to clutter the interface so files shows all folders queued
and processed for everything except evolution emails

emails just shows email mboxes/folders processed/count and only works
for evolution

its the total no of enitites indexed - I guess I can remove that bit

we now delete dud hits so if you research again the correct totals
should appear

hit counts are estimates only and may include deleted items - as soon as
a deleted item is detected when you click on a category it is then
deleted from the index so a research should show correct totals

I guess we can refresh the hit counts after searching

stats will not be wrong - we dont remove entries from index when they
are deleted as it takes too long (google does this too) - instead we
just delete from sqlite so the stats should be fine and they wont show
up in search results either (although the erroneous hit counts will)
