Sounds like a corrupted index. It seems pretty odd that you would be
getting recurring corruptions like that --- we've recently fixed some
corner case bugs causing index corruption, but they're not all that easy
to trigger (and most of the ones I remember had other symptoms than just
search misses). How much faith have you got in your hardware platform?
