What would be a typical size of the search index, let's say after 5 years of intense browsing?

It depends on what you consider intense browsing. An indexed document uses about 100KB on average because Hister stores the full original HTML for offline previews. If storage is a concern, you can disable offline previews, reducing the average document size significantly.
