API giving old or nonexistent annotations

I wrote a Emacs package that does searches using MB’s API.
It’s called mb-search.

For some time, I saw annotations on releases of Macossa, and I deleted them and added according relationships.

The issue is that there are still some annotations shown from the past that do not exist now.

Yes, it’s a long lasting search server problem, some annotations are still showing their content from 2007.

I’ve finally added a bug ticket recently:

Annotation search cache is not refreshed:

https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=%2F%2Fmusicbrainz.org%2F+"disc+5"&type=annotation&method=indexed

Still shows many pre-NGS annotations that were removed in 2009 (50 ans de chanson française).

I added Macossa and all of their releases this year, could it apply to new releases as well?

Yes, the problem has been there for long time and is still happening.
