I've been searching "isparent:true ischild:true" to clean up daisy chains and things that should be pooled. One thing that makes this difficult is that some child posts will appear as both parents and children in the search results, but aren't actually. One instance is post #5188819, which is currently on the front page of "isparent:true ischild:true" despite not having a child. Is this a bug or something I'm missing?

post #5188703 is it's child

parent:5188819 status:any
deleted child posts aren't shown on their parent, you'll have to manually search for them if you want to find them

Why does post #1383891 show its deleted child though

Apparently it only checks if there's any visible child, there's no filtering on which are displayed

Ah, that's annoying. Thanks, though. Should I remove the parent relationship or is that not advised?

I wouldn't advise it, since it helps people find the old/original post it replaced.

Alright, good to know.
