Comment:

 Sorry I didn't get back to you here. This really isn't a bug, so changing
 that back.

 I mostly got that code rewritten to work for indexing, but as I was
 working on it realized how much testing of the algorithm probably needs to
 get done/re-done along with this change. Changing the search algorithm is
 not really something we should treat as a quick "fix". Either this change
 really makes a difference (in which case we need to do some similar
 testing to what was done before), or it just isn't that high of a
 priority. I'm also guessing that looking at the search quality will reveal
 a bunch of other things to work on for better or worse.
