The problem with Google Desktop Search

This is probably the only problem I experience with GDS. Here goes my problem.

Say I have installed GDS on my Windows 2000.The one-time indexer indexes my files.Now after some time I boot my machine thro some other OS and delete one of the GDS indexed file. After several days when I perform some search, Google Desktop Search returns the file(the GDS indexed file which doesnt exeist anymore). I click on it to find that the document has been deleted several days back. Isn't this a big issue ??

To solve this problem, currently what I do is uninstall GDS every 10-15 days and install it once again, so that it reindexes all the files on my hard disk. This process is too cumbersome.

Google Desktop Search should have had an option to remove the current index, and reindex all the files on your computer say every 'x' number of days.[with an option to select 'x'].

Cant Google do that?
