To remove this, go to Manage Recordings->Set Priorities and look
for "documentary (Keyword Search)" (or whatever matches exactly how
you did this =). Press Enter and change the rule to "Do not record
this program".

When you set a search rule, it becomes a new rule stored with the
information it needs along with all the other rules. The keyword
list is used to remember the words you've entered before when you
go back to the search pages again. Changing or deleting the words
on this list doesn't afftect the rules.

It sure does but maybe you don't have auto expire set up properly.
Go to Setup->TV Settings->General third page to set your auto
expire parameters and choices.
