Unpublished products showing in search

Hi,

I've worked on that issue for quite a while today and made an extensive patch to the smart search plugin to handle this properly.
The issue was that the elements were not reindexed when saving them from the interface.
So once you had indexed them once, the changes you would made to the products would be ignored by the smart search.

So what you need to do is this:
- download again the install package of the 4.4.0 on our website and install it on yours
- click on the "index" button of the smart search component to resynchronize the products
Then, it should hopefully work fine.

Hi,

I had a look at your website and made a test there but it's working fine as far as I can see.
For example:
- I went to this page: index.php/component/finder/search?q=deadliest&Search=
- I don't get the product "Top 50 Deadliest Creatures" because it is unpublished.
- I temporarily publish that product
- I see that product in the results if I refresh that smart search results page
- I unpublish that product again
- I again don't see that product in the results
This wasn't working previously. So the patch I made is definitely working.

Now maybe you're talking about another issue ? In that case, I would need more information on how to reproduce it on your website because as far as I can see, it seems to be working fine.
