Thanks for your response Rahul! Yes, all the fields I tried with were indexed=true, but it did not work.
Btw, when I try to today, I am no longer getting the "Connection lost" error. The delete command returns with status=success, however the document is not actually deleted when I check in the search console again. I tried using Document Type as XML just now and I see the same behaviour as above.
