Removing results from index #485

Open Real-Gecko opened 1 year ago

Real-Gecko commented 1 year ago

I've synced my Firefox bookmarks with Spyglass and now results from very old bookmarks I don't use anymore pop up in search results. I've deleted this bookmarks from Firefox, switched off bookmark syncing, enabled it again, did resync, and results are still there. Is there a way to remove some results from index manually?

Hey @Real-Gecko , it's a bit of a hassle, but workaround for this would be to go to the site that shows up and use the extension to remove it from the index.

Otherwise this does seem like an oversight on our side, we should be keeping track of synced items during a resync and removing ones that have been deleted automatically. I'll set this as a bug so we can get this in the next update 🙂

Thanks for the clue.

By the way, results are not always detected by Firefox plugin as already indexed despite showing in search results:
