I don’t know about that, but why don’t you rebuild the entire thing from scratch if you have a doubt ?

In addition, and perhaps more germane, is the fact that this file had been previously indexed in its entirety. It is being rebuilt because a dialog suddenly appeared informing me that Fox Trot had unexpectedly crashed and recommended the indexes be rebuilt. The other indexes which have already been rebuilt also contained curated files and all were included. It is only this particular file that exhibits this issue. Would the crash have corrupted over 25% of the files to the point where they contained no indexable data?
