Search indices - Whats "normal"?

Good morning, I’m fairly new to litium but am surely but slowly touching every part of the system and this morning it Search indices… I just did a full rebuild in the back-office and realized that we have over 4million items to rebuild. We have a lot of products about 80k, but my gut feeling tells me that this is still overkilled and might indicate that something is wrong in out database, so am just wondering if that number seems normal? Or if this is something that I maybe should look into?

Litium version: 71

The total amount of items that can be indexed is very dependent on the solution. It is pages, products (counting on base products), product categories and orders that will be indexed and the count should not get higher than the total count of all this items together.

Thanks you, then I suspect that years and years of orders is to blame for this
Thanks for the insight!
