The title should read 'Riak will support Secondary Indices.' As an open source company, we strive for transparent engineering; this is intended as a preview of some upcoming functionality. We haven't set a release date yet.

Just want to properly set expectations.

That said, we appreciate the interest and attention. :)

Will this, unlike Riak Search, provide the same guarantees about your data as the normal operations?

The design of secondary indexes is much simpler, more tightly integrated, and more transparent than Riak Search. It will feel more like part of the same datastore, rather than something you have to deal with on the side.
