Searchkick: Remove documents when unable to find original record

Question

To take the example from another question

product = Product.find(10) 
   `raise_record_not_found_exception!'
product.nil?
=> true

product = Product.search "*", where: {id: 10}, load: false
product.count
=> 1

How do I remove the document without a clean wipe?

Thanks

If your index is out of sync with your database and you don't want to do a full reindex, you can do:

missing_product = Product.new
missing_product.id = 10
Product.search_index.remove(missing_product)
