yes. The records makes no sense in indexed search as they belong to 
crawler. So the best would be to move them to crawler. But the table is 
called index_... so it's an indexed_search table - weird :)

Just for interest - what benefit has crawler without indexed_search? 
Imho crawler only does the indexing with a cronjob for indexed_search, 
or is there any extension benefit from crawler results?
