Media appears in tag search after a tag is removed

💻 Environment/Context

  • Tag
  • Tag Search
  • Media
  • Media Library

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • Why does media still appear when I search for a tag I removed?
  • I removed a tag from media, but it still appears in the tag search.
  • Why can I find media by a tag that has already been removed?

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

After removing a tag from media, the search results may take a moment to update. Follow these steps to ensure the tag has been removed correctly.

  • Refresh the page after removing the tag, then search for the tag again to verify that the media no longer appears in the results.
  • Create a new search if you’re using the same tag search link. We recommend starting a new search from scratch, as reusing an existing search link may cause outdated results to appear.
  • Try an incognito window if the media still appears in the search results. If the media no longer appears when using an incognito window, the issue is likely related to your browser’s cached data or cookies. Clear your cache and cookies, then try the search again.
