Delete documents
Describes how to delete documents from an index, using the Client interface in the .NET Client API for Optimizely Search & Navigation.
You can delete individual documents from the index using the IClient interface's Delete
method. For example, the code below deletes a BlogPost
with ID 42.
client.Delete<BlogPost>(42);
You can delete documents that match the criteria defined in a filter expression. For example, the code below deletes documents of type BlogPost
, and those of a type inheriting from BlogPost
that are tagged with "Banana."
client.Delete<BlogPost>(x => x.Tags.Match("Banana"));
You can also delete documents that match criteria defined in a filter expression and on multiple fields. The code below deletes documents of type BlogPost
, and those of a type inheriting from BlogPost
that are tagged with "Banana" and whose author name contains "Fredrik."
client.Delete<BlogPost>(x => x.Tags.Match("Banana") & x.Name.Match("Fredrik"))
Delete documents from the recycle bin
When deleting documents from the recycle bin, make sure that you only delete if a document returns shouldIndex=true
for CheckPublishedStatus && DisableIndexing
. In this way, you avoid many 404 errors when Optimizely Search & Navigation tries to delete an unindexed document from the recycle bin.
