I have a problem with the Search results. I removed a few pages but these pages will stay in the search results.

On the Farm i run a continuous crawl without any full crawl. Is the continuous crawl suppose to remove deleted items from the search results?

  • In my experience deletions are not processed in continuous crawl. They are handled in incremental and/or full crawl. I don't have any documentation, but that is what we've seen in two years of using cross-site publishing. What we do is use publishing features and first mark as rejected/unpublished. That is picked up by the continuous and the item is then "hidden" after that it is deleted and will eventually be removed by incremental or full.

Ok i found the problem why the deleted item was still in the index

We changed the settings of the following:

$SearchApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "Search Service Application"
$SearchApplication.SetProperty("ErrorDeleteCountAllowed", 1)
$SearchApplication.SetProperty("ErrorDeleteIntervalAllowed",0)

mentioned in this post: Deleted item still showing up in search results if only doing Incremental Crawls

Only we didn't set them to 1 and 0, I set it to: 10 and 240.

Both properties needs to be true before removed from the index. 10 Crawls and 240 hours before it is deleted.

A continuous crawl crawls content that was added, changed, or deleted since the last crawl.

But it highly advice able to run the full crawl( some recommend run Incremental daily) in a while to keep refresh and healthy your index. There is one disadvantage about Continuous crawl does not process or retry items that return errors more than three times.

  • what you mean the dead links? if item is deleted than continous crawl will remove it but for some reason that item/link throws the error then it will not be picked by CC, reason CC dont have ability to retry and you need incremental / full crawl to fix those errors.
