Searchkick manually remove specific record Index

Question

How I can manually remove specific record Index using Searchkick. There is option to reindex the specific record but i didnt find any option to delete a record index.

 product = Product.find 10
 product.reindex

Answer 1

What if you only have the id of the deleted model? eg. in the case where you are getting the call in a background worker?

Looking at the source code, searchkick only checks the class of the object to work out the index and grabs the id from the object, so you could do something like this to get around it:

# given value id holding the record id of the deleted model record (eg. Product with id 123)

prod = Product.new(id: id)

Product.searchkick_index.remove(prod)

Hacky but works :P

Answer 2

If anyone's looking for how to delete & blow away the entire index to start off fresh you can do it as so:

MyModel.searchkick_index.delete &&  MyModel.searchkick_index.create

Answer 3

To remove from index:

product = Product.find 10
Product.searchkick_index.remove(product)
