Found means, we crawled your directories and found (e.g.) 2000 
directories. Ignored means, of those 2000 directories, we ignored (or 
didn't process/crawl/index) (e.g.) 100 due to ignore rules in the 
configuration.

"Found" doesn't represent "new", only what we processed to check if 
there are new or unchanged content.

It didn't. But, IIRC, it was changed more recently to mean that yes, 
"ignored" == "already index" || "matches ignore rules" || "..."

Hope this helps.
