Dead keywords don't disappear from suggestions

I've spent some time consolidating like keywords. I've noticed after a few days that dead keywords (i.e. keywords with 0 titles attached to them) disappear from the search function; however they do not disappear from suggestions when adding keywords to a title.

For example, I got rid of dead-body-on-a-slab because dead-body-on-slab had many more titles attached to it. It disappeared from the search, but still shows up if you type "dead body slab" as a keyword. See pictures below.





The suggestion should really go away when that keyword reaches 0 titles attached.

Thanks (and sorry).  This is a known problem and a bug report has been filed.

I would like to see this fixed, too.

Hi Adrian -

Just circling back on this older thread to confirm that this Keyword issue is now resolved. 

Cheers!

Yes, every eliminated keyword does disappear from search results. Sometimes it does take a few hours after all instances of the keyword have been deleted from IMDb for it to also disappear from search results. But it does happen eventually.
