Thanks Jeff and Otis, After some more testing I am finding that the bug affects only certain docs.
For example if I have a Document in the index with the following IDs it will not be deleted: 'preamble_content' 'toc_testor' 'B724547' The following IDs will work and delete the Document from the index: 'art_01_section_01' 'a266122794' When editing one of duplicates (triplicates, etc) metadata and saving it again (goes through delete and then re-add again) it adds another entry to the index with the same id Term. On providing complete code - I will try to get that out to the list. It currently reads from config XML files. I will try to make a simple example.
