Exclude deleted items from the search results

My users state that documents that they deleted days ago are still showing in the search results; how do I exclude all the items in all of the farm's Recycling Bins from being displayed in the search results?
Also, I have heard complaints that the search is displaying results that match their query, but they don't have permissions to the files; how can I exclude items that the user doesn't have permissions for?

Take a look at the following article.  There are several policies that cover how long items remain in the index if they are missing from an individual crawl.  By default they tend to be set fairly high (I think 30 days is about the average).  YOu
can change these values to modify the policies to remove content more quickly.  Just remember missing from a crawl isn't always due to an item being deleted.  So if you decrease these policies you run the risk or removing existing content along with
deleted content.

  • The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

    I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
    sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
    So can anyone advice on this ?
    Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
    the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

    Hi,
    The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
    Thanks, Suneetha
    Currently I have set the following;-
    1. On the library advance setting :- I define  “Open in the client application”
    2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
    And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
    The webpage cannot be displayed
    And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?

  • How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?

    How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
    I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
    As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
    Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
    Thanks
    Tom

    In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.

  • Is it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App please?

    IIs it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App? Thanks

    From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).

    In microsoft office word, how do I delete items from the recent documents tableau? I have options for new, open, save, saveas, etc. but no option to delete. Thank you.

    Hello.
    I have no idea and you should contact Microsoft for support. This is Firefox's support forum.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • How can you delete items from the cloud?

    I am trying to delete some items from the cloud but can't figure out how. Does anyone know how.

    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage > Manage...... on your iOS device. Or System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...... on a Mac.
    You have 3 options......
        1.    Purchase more iCloud storage.
        2.    Delete data or back ups that are being stored in iCloud already.
        3.    Turn off items to be included in the next back up to reduce its size.

  • How to delete items from the list of "auto-open" tabs that load whenever FF4 opens?

    When I recently downloaded FF4, I was asked if I'd like to have FF automatically open the same tabs as were set in my IE. Great! Worked perfectly until I set those tabs as App Tabs. Now both the App Tabs and the original IE set of tabs open whenever I open FF -- essentially each tab loads twice -- as app tab and large tab. How can I delete tabs from the list of "auto-open" tabs? In addition, for some reason, every time I try to set my home page, it's not working -- I keep getting the same home page regardless of how many times I have tried to set a new one.

    You can close a tab with a middle-click or with a left click on the close X on the tab or via the right-click context menu of that tab.<br />
    Do those tabs come back if you close then and lose Firefox?

  • Find the deleted item from the purchased history

    the Imovie was deleted before from the purchased history, now, i want to install it again, however, i can't find it at all fromt the purchased history.

    Well at this time I would highly recommend contacting iTunes to find help in restoring the purchase. Also, if you have the receipt e-mail you may want to keep it handy as well. First I would go to the iMovie application in the MacApp Store and submit a bug report or something to the developer (Apple) to make sure they know of this issue so it can be prevented for other users in the future. Next, visit the Apple Express lane [ https://expresslane.apple.com/ ] and follow through the steps needed to stating your problem. Finally, an official iTunes representative should e-mail you about the issue and either fix the file on one of their servers or give you a refund.

  • How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

    How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive?  Will my machine run faster?

    If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
    To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
    Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

  • How can I select more than one song from the search results?

    I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
    Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
    Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
    I hope some Windows user can help me out.

    Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
    I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

    I have various music and videos that I want to permenantly delete from the cloud as it keeps sending them to my laptop and phone.  i dont want the purchases anymore and want to tdelete them, how do i get access to the cliud and delete them

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
