What happens after I delete a search crawler in Zendesk?

After you delete a search crawler in Zendesk, the external content from that source will be removed from your help center search results within 24 hours. It's important to note that once a search crawler is deleted, it cannot be restored, so make sure you no longer need the content indexed before proceeding with deletion.

This process ensures that your help center search results remain relevant and up-to-date by excluding content from sources you no longer wish to include.
