I have a question in regards to the same topic: If I have three different database queries, should I just create a separate index for each query?
Or should I just add all the results I get back from each of the query into one big index. Will there be any issues with documents having different number of fields, documents that don't have a particular field, etc??

Now I want to add full-text search for my website to search articles, images and bbs topics. I'm not sure to use only one index to search all types of these, or create 3 indexes for each of type. If I use only one index, do I have to add a 'type' field to identify document type? and how to filter the specified type? If I use 3 indexes, is there more memory & cpu time cost? Thanks in advance, for any help & suggestions.
