Smart search duplicates in index

When editing products smart search seems to index them as a new entry but does not remove the old one.

Enabled;
  • Phoca Cart Finder Plugin (Products with images)
  • Extension - Finder
Disabled;
  • Phoca Cart Finder Plugin (Products)
What I am wondering about, I see the following plugins disabled as well though the shop seems to be working;
  • System - Phoca Cart
  • User - Phoca Cart
  • Webservices - Phoca Cart
Is there a logical way to set this up so that you don't need to re-index every time you update a product?

Hi, smart search function is Joomla core function and Phoca Cart finder plugins only add information for the Phoca Cart products and categories. I think, in smart search you need to remove old manually with the emptying prompt. :idea:

Phoca Cart System should be enabled (it is needed for Joomla mail template integration). User plugin and webservices plugin could be disabled if you don't need such features.

Not sure, what do you mean with: "Phoca Cart Finder Plugin (Products with images)", there are only two types of finder plugin: products or categories.
