We occasionally update a product’s ID via the AdminAPI using a PATCH request like this:

```auto
Example:
PATCH {basurl}/Litium/api/admin/products/variants/{systemId}
[
    {
        "op": "replace",
        "path": "id",
        "value": "1337"
    }
]

```

After we do this the product shows up twice in the search product search on the site.

Rebuilding product index removes the duplicate.

Is there a way to re-index just the affected product (or remove the duplicate from the index) programmatically?

Litium version: _8.22.2_
