i Have just come to realize that the extension that  i mad in the past, like
two year ago, was worthless. I made that extension for dam_downloadlist
cause at the time i was not aware of how the indexed_search really worked.

when i saw that dam_downloadlist was not indexed i thought it was not meant
to be use with indexed search instead of seeing that dam_downloadlist was
just a user_int( witch i did not fully understand at the time ). But
knowing what i know about indexed_search today i can tell now that my
extension could have been avoid. 
Steffen no need to take a look at my extension, what Emesto said is right.
You only have to check if your pages are indexed and all theire plugins
too.

cheers,
