Closing/Opening Outlook 2007 PST File Loses Indexing

Using XP SP3 / WS 4.0 / O2007.

I have several PSTs open in Outlook 2007 that are fully indexed by
Windows Search 4.0. If I close them, and then later in another session
reopen them, all indexing seemed to be lost and I can no longer search
them until the index is built. Is this expected behavior? Is there any
fix or workaround?
 
Are they being closed cleanly or is Outlook repairing them on open? I've
found that PST repairs typically caused reindexing

I think they're being closed cleanly. Is the expected behavior with a
clean close/open that indexing won't be lost?
 
Correct.

Not sure if this is related, but my *entire* Windows Search index just
disappeared (i.e., it seems to be reindexing the whole disk from
scratch). I'm sure I didn't manually choose that option, and I haven't
made any other changes in my system configuration or installed
software lately. Anyone have any idea what would cause that?
