I am experiencing an issue where search results are showing deleted site collections after multiple full crawls. I've been searching around and trying different things, but so far nothing has worked.

I created a modified core search results web part that shows us all site collections that we have access to.

(See: http://jeffreypaarhuis.com/tag/core-search-results/)

The search results show deleted site collections. When you click on a once-valid URL, this is what you see:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:33:55 GMT
Connection: close

Any ideas?

    Have you tried an index reset or restarting search service?

  • Hi Amal, thanks for the response. Your response is correct. Resetting the index fixed the issue. I also made sure to delete the deleted sites as an elevated search account can see weird things (unpublished documents, recycle bin contents, etc.).

If deleted site collections still showed in the search result, then make sure following things.

  • A full Crawl against the content source(which belongs to deleted site collections)
  • If after couple of crawls items still Showed in the result then reset the search index.

Another thought, please make sure the deleted sites also removed from Central admin...run the get-spdeletedsites and check if the deleted site listed their.

    The index reset fixed the problem. I also made sure that deleted sites were actually deleted first. Thanks!
