Borek, That is a good question. My gut tells me it all depends on your scenario and configurations, and you'd do best to just benchmark and see.
Reusing an IndexSearcher is definitely necessary, but if you'll be using one searcher for multiple users then you'll have to implement some sort of locking mechanism, and this may introduce performance hit. Having one searcher per user is safer and faster, but will require more RAM. Perhaps having a pool of searchers where you "fish" one whenever you need to perform a search is the best idea: you then keep the amount of searchers to the minimum necessary, but still are not suffering from too many locks. My be a good idea to ask this at java-u...@l.a.o, there you may find people who had this problem before with Lucene Java. Itamar.
