[TYPO3-english] index search table overflowing

[Paul Bucalo]

Anyone else experiencing this problem:
http://www.dirkgomez.de/en/typo3-indexed-search-and-tt-news-index-rel-growth
My index_rel table hit 10 million rows today.
Anyone have a more "elegant" solution?
I'm thinking of dropping index search all together and replacing with a
Google site search or something. It really bogs down the db.
Thanks for any input,
