Fix javadoc comments in search package

            Project: Lucene - Java
         Issue Type: Task
         Components: Search
           Reporter: Michael Busch
           Priority: Minor
            Fix For: 3.0


With LUCENE-1856 I removed some old, deprecated search methods, and with the HitCollector work new ones were introduced in 2.9. We need to fix the javadocs now in the search package, especially in classes like Searcher, Searchable, MultiSearcher, ParallelMultiSearcher, package.html, etc.

We should also make the javadocs more intuitive for the user: currently we call all search methods in Searchable "low-level" and most of them "expert". I think it's currently very confusing for the user to understand which methods to use.

Related to this Collector is marked as "experimental" but it is the recommended way for collection if TopDocs is not appropriate.

How about grepping for experimental and expert and reviewing their recommendations. Perhaps some of what is marked is no longer that way.
