There are several things to consider. The first is what DIGY pointed out. The third parameter of the IndexWriter constructor determines if the code is creating a new index or opening an existing index for additions. The code must specify "false" to open an existing index for additions.
A second thing to consider is that the additions made to the index with writer.AddDocument() will not be visible until the IndexWriter is closed, or the Commit() method is called. A third thing to consider, instances of IndexReader can only see the content of the index at the time the IndexReader instance was opened. Even after the IndexWriter commits its changes, IndexReader instances must be re-opened in order to see the new index content. It seems you should check your code to ensure: - IndexWriter constructor is being called with the right parameters to open an existing index. - IndexWriter is closed or commit is called after changes have been made. - IndexReader instances are re-opened after changes have been committed. - Neal -----Original Message----- From: Digy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Lucene.Net] how to add a new record to existing index I don't think that I understand your problem. Is it something like IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(path, analyzer, *false*, IndexWriter.DEFAULT_MAX_FIELD_LENGTH); ...... writer.AddDocument(doc); DIGY -----Original Message----- From: Wen Gao [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 1:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Lucene.Net] how to add a new record to existing index Hi Digy, It was my fault that i didnt say it clearly. I mean I have created an index,but it is not updated real time. So I want to update the index everytime after I add data to database to keep the index up-to-date. My data is what user inputs and inserted to database.Then BTW, I know how to delete a term from index using IndexReader. Likewise, I want to write a term to the created index instead of creating a new index. I appreciate your time.
