I think there may be a bug. We’ve the setting to not index password protected posts but they still show up. Please see the images for the index table settings. Do we need to turn on refreshing the index whenever post meta are updated?
Hi,
Yes, I think there is a bug here, at least I can confirm from our test servers. I do not recommend turning on that option, it is not very efficient for such large databses, and will not resolve the issue.
This may be only possible to resolve by directly editing the index table engine file. I tried to open the plugin editor, but the account does not have privileges. Can you please try this:
1. Make a full site backup just in case
Best,
2. Open up the wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/includes/classes/etc/indextable.class.php file on your server
3. Replace it’s contents ith this
4. First, only test on one post – Open the post editor screen for a post, change it to password protected and save it.
5. The post should update in the index automatically during saving, so now if you try to search it, it should not show up
6. If that actually works, then re-create the index.

Hi, it works as you described.
1. Does it mean if we re-save our existing password protected posts or there’s only future password protected posts, we don’t need to re-create index?
2. Will you implement this in the next update?1. Yes, you will need to re-save them, no need to re-index.
Best,
2. Yes, as per your feedback, this is going to be implemented for sure.
