Description
I have created some test files containing "magicvalue123". These were indexed by FTS and then removed using the web UI. I later added them again to under a different folder (did that twice). The original files are still found as you can see by the number of reported search results (6) whereas only 2 files actually currently are in the file system.

Research direction
Reproduce the report by indexing test files containing "magicvalue123", deleting them through the web UI, and adding them again under another folder. Trace the full-text search index handling for deletion and reindexing, then verify that search returns only files currently present in the filesystem.
