It should, but there are a couple of issues.
1> you have to make your remaining slaves poll the new master for index updates.
2> your indexing process has to be pointed the new master (if it's external)
3> you have to make sure anything you've indexed to the master that has NOT
been replicated to the new master gets re-indexed. This is often done by
just re-indexing everything from, say, an hour before the master crashed.
