Any idea why deleteDocument() method keeps my objects in the index? There is no error thrown. It is not removed even after some period.
This method is invoked when reindexing my objects, e.g. from Control Panel | Search. My goal is to remove entries matching specific conditions. If conditions are met, doDelete() is invoked.  However, when calling getDocument(webHelpDocument) after this step, I'd expect null result.
I've tried also IndexWriterHelperUtil.deleteDocument() method, but I am getting same result.
