Hi,

We've got search link info as below and the Next Visit date has past. This link has been removed for about 7 days, yet still shows up on the search results.

Could you clarify what is meant by the Next Visit date?

When a refresh walk runs it only fetches pages that have a Next Visit time that is due or has passed. If you're not doing a refresh walk nothing will change. If most of a large database is due it may take some time for the refresh process to get to a particular url.

Thank you for the reply Mark.

We are doing refresh walks so the Next Visit date is of interest.

You say "it may take some time....". Why? If we do a refresh walk daily why don't all URLs with Next Visit date < the current date get processed?

They should. I meant that if you have a huge walk a single refresh cycle could take a long time. Check your walk status to see if your refresh walks are running and if they're encountering any problems.
