Hi Charlotte, I am not sure why it happened, but it means that your search index is out of sync. When you imported the first batch it got indexed, but the index didn't get cleaned up correctly when you undid it. Maybe there as a bad record in the batch as you said they didn't all show up in search. A full reindex should usually fix the problem. If there are any errors running during reindexing, this might give you another clue on what went wrong. Hope this helps, Katrin On 01.11.2017 09:56, Charlotte Stock wrote:

Recently I imported a large batch of records, but when I ran a search not all of the records had loaded so I deleted the batch and reimported.

Now, when I run a search, the results list the 'deleted' batch and then the reimported batch, which means that users instinctively select from the first batch of results - all of which display the message "The record you requested does not exist" when selected.

When I enter the record numbers of the failed entries to perform a batch deletion, this message displays 'The biblionumber does not exist in the database'.

My question is how do I remove these ghost records so that they do not appear in OPAC searches, as users will quickly give up if the first page of results are all failed records?

Thankyou in advance for your advice Charlotte
