Exclude Unpublished nodes from indexing

Well you have to create an alter callback. Here is a patch. This doesn't update the index count but doesn't index unpublished nodes.
Speaking of which I think we should create a patch to alter the items count on the index tabs (This should take in account the callbacks).

Plus we may need a generic solution to be able to remove items which have a specific property or field value (This could be useful for other Entities). For example you may want to exclude other entities with a unpublished like property... and that shouldn't be so hard to implement

A possible workaround:
If you add the node status to the indexed fields you can filter the views with "Indexed node: status" = published.

Facets will also know about the correct number of nodes
The nodes will still be indexed, but they are not visible in your views

Yes of course you can do that.
I'm uploading a new patch for coding standards correction.

Did you clear the cache ?

@janakiram keep in mind that that index count is not reflective of the actual items that are included in the index or the number of items to check for indexing. See: http://drupal.org/node/1184610#comment-4588976

I am using Search Pages and not Search Views, it is not so easy to filter on Status, so the patch from #4 was needed. It works great, thank you!!

Here the steps I used:

1. Download patch from #4 to search_api module directory with "curl -O http://drupal.org/files/search_api-exlude_unpublished_nodes-1507882-4.patch"
2. Apply patch with: "git apply -v search_api-exlude_unpublished_nodes-1507882-4.patch" . Git should report it applying cleanly.
3. Log into your site and Clear your Cache
4. Go to your Search API Index's Workflow tab and check "Exclude unpublished nodes"
5. Then go to the "Status" tab and clear the index, then re-index again.
6. Unpublished nodes should now be gone from results

Code looks clean and to standards as well, so I'm setting this to Reviewed & Tested by the Community.

#4 working great for me.

Note that I applied it using patch command, and had to manually move the new file callback_node_status.inc into the /includes directory for it to work.

Great patch, thanks a lot!
Looks perfect to me, and also seems to work: committed.

@ damien_vancouver: This was actually „fixed“ with the „Node access“ data alteration, which automatically adds node access filters to search queries for search pages, too. But I guess this still has some value, until we can introduce a way to do this on a more generic level. See, e.g., #939430: Integrate Rules conditions to filter indexed entities for an idea.

#4 Thank you worked for me.

We need to use a patch to change the behaviour in the workflow tab of the drupal7 search api:

Thanks again.
