The group filter for topics seems to include deleted topics.
For example, in the first two results of [https://meta.discourse.org/filter?q=group%3Acustomer-success%20order%3Aposters-asc%20category%3Adocumentation%20](https://meta.discourse.org/filter?q=group%3Acustomer-success%20order%3Aposters-asc%20category%3Adocumentation%20) I cannot spot a post from a member of the [@customer-success](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/customer-success) group.
