Its impossible for SearchUpdater#handle_manipulation to figure out the difference
between writing to a table-less class (like Page if theres no $db set) and the
table-having parent (like SiteTree) because it only examines the DB manipulation
This meant if you tried to index Page without setting $db fields, only subclasses
that did have $db fields would be indexed
We cant fix, but we can throw an error if you try to do that
