In our intranet portal site, we have added exclusion items to the Intranet Portal - General Content smart search index which the site search uses. However, some items are being returned in the search results that are part of sections of the site that were included in the exclusion list. We have rebuilt the index multiple times but it still returns excluded items. We are using Kentico 7.0.11 which was recently upgraded from 5.5R2.

Has anyone else had issues with excluded items being returned in search results?
