I'm pretty sure IndexSearcher does not *lock* the index, but rather waits on
the lock to be released. That lock is probably being set by the IW you have
running periodically. IS has setTimeout you can use.
As I said in a previous thread, we are moving forward to a more stable and
modern code base, so unless there's a test case and this is an issue that is
easy to resolve I'm afraid it will be in our backburner.
Sorry about the (temporary) inconvenience.
