Hi Ash,

Have you tried adding .FilterForVisitor() to your search query?

This should take care of this.

Can you please post your code snippet here?

I don't think this is required step but have you rebuilt the index after page expires.

I would be amazed if everything in this code works.

I think of the Search()-chain as a way of building a search query and would never put calls to the internal APIs there like for example you are doing with contentLoader. This is better solved with adding new properties to your types that support the querying you want do with less query code.

There is a also quite a few redundant calls in there that makes the size of your query bigger to no use - for example calling ExcludeContentFolders when you are already filtering on a specific type.

But just a guess from the thread start is that maybe this is the search page query and by "search bar" you might mean auto suggest on the search form element?

Thanks for providing the code here.

I think the code looks good . Have you tried with rebuild index?

Is it necessary to rebuild index everyime after page expires? That's nonsense... I was hoping that Find has some functionality which removes pages from index if they expire...

I think no but I read somewhere that it is a bug in some earlier version of Episerver find.

No, but if this resolves your issue then you can write some custom schedule jobs, etc.. to handle your scenario so please try once.

Are you using the Episerver Find 12 or lower?

could you add a .Filter() to check if the expiry date has passed and filter out the expired content?

@Ash Please contact Application Support and we can check that search request payload looks as expected with that code.

Also include Find index name and give an example on an object you're expecting not to be in the results.
