Ah, yes. You are correct. This makes sense and I should have realized how this works. Related to this, it is amazing how many common keywords exist and are indexed. So many for me that when I performed my experiment, I thought I was deleting the whole index. Still, the size of my database, once compressed, was reduced dramatically.
I take no particular exception to the added size of the database. My problem has always been with UR's speed. Importing, exporting, copying from the web have been improved over time, but are still quite slow when compared to some other programs. One could also make an arguement that indexing does not have to increase searching speed. Just look at programs that do not index (and the relatively small size of their databases). I am referring to Info Select and askSam (the professional version indexes, the other does not).
However, nothing is close to URs versatility, consistency, and depth.
