Hi Umbraco Team

I have simple search page using the following code straight off our Umbraco Examine quick start guide Umbraco Examine quick start guide

if(ExamineManager.Instance.TryGetIndex("ExternalIndex", out var index))
                    {
                        var searcher = index.GetSearcher();
                        var results = searcher.CreateQuery("content").Field("nodeName", searchTerm).Execute();
                        if (results.Any())
                        {
                            <ul>
                                @foreach (var result in results)
                                {
                                    if (result.Id != null)
                                    {
                                        var node = Umbraco.Content(result.Id);
                                        <li>
                                            <a href="@node.Url">@node.Name</a>
                                        </li>
                                    }
                                }
                            </ul>
                        }

my view

foreach (var searchResult in @Model.SearchItems.Skip((page - 1) * Model.PageLimit).Take(Model.PageLimit))
    {
        var searchItem = Umbraco.Content(@searchResult.Id);
        <a href="@searchItem.Url()">
            <h2>@searchItem.Name</h2>
        </a>
        if (@searchItem.HasProperty("contentRTE"))
        {
            @Html.Truncate(@searchItem.Value("contentRTE").ToString(), 250)
        }
    }

I get back results as expected. Issue arises when content editor unpublishes a parent/ancestor node, this leads to a YSOD when the search results contain a published node under the unpublished node.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. on line

var searchItem = Umbraco.Content(@searchResultId);

I'm using Umbraco 8 External Index making use of default standardanalyzer. Im not sure how to handle this error in code, am i missing a method to check if ancestors/parent is published or should Umbraco handle the scenario of a parent/ancestor being unpublished ?
