I got finaly rid of smartsearch eating lots of CPU and not going away. Previously after every reboot I had to kill it by hand, otherwise it would draing battery.

I tried "Reset->Restore settings" and then restored from backup. That did not cure smartsearch, but introduced a new battery drain with email sync described in

I then deleted and recreated mail account, and holy cow, that fixed smartsearch also! I have a syslog snapshot from the non-working and working smartsearch. Let me know if you have still troubles with smartsearch and want bug report filed. However, I don't have anything to debug anymore, just couple of syslog files.
