This is ferret 0.9.3 for reference.
Hi Marcus, Sorry, this is a mistake in the docs. It doesn't make sense to open an IndexReader with an anonymous RAMDirectory as it obviously won't contain any index yet. The problem is that the IndexReader is trying to read the segments file which it expects to be there but, since no index has been written, there is no segments file. If you pass a RAMDirectory that actually contains an index written by an IndexWriter or Index class then it should work.
