Unpublished page still shows up in live pages search function

Hi @fraukesc 

Its mostly due to the index is still having the old content and is not updated. 

Few things you can check,

Can you check if the cache for the page is cleared in dispatcher 

Check if the replication was proper and page is no longer available in publisher 

Also if you have any custom logic to populate the results make sure you check for replication action.

Also in case you have integrated with any external search providers make sure the indexing sources are properly updated and the reindexing is done at the app end to ensure you get latest content and the unpublished content is removed

@fraukesc  Are you using any search engine like SOLR ? If yes, you might want to check if on deactivation of the page, the corresponding SOLR index document is deleted from SOLR or not. If you are caching your search results pages, that also might cause this and if that is the case, you flush the cached page to see the updated results.
