Hello Scott! I think your index is just not large really. My Sharehound's indexes of my corporate LAN is about 10G/10mlns of (really small) documents now, and queries get really little time, less than a second for non-sorted queries and some more for sorted. The machine is some P4 with 1G RAM. I use just FSDir.
Best regards, Artem. SS> Supposed I want to index 500,000 documents (average document size is SS> 4kBs). Let's assume I create a single index and that the index is SS> static (I'm not going to add any new documents to it). I would guess SS> the index would be around 2GB. SS> Now, I do searches against this on a somewhat beefy machine (2GB RAM, SS> Core 2 Duo, Windows XP). Does anyone have any idea what kinds of search SS> times I can expect for moderately complicated searches (several sets of SS> keywords against several fields)? Are there things I can do to increase SS> search performance? For example, does Lucene like lots of RAM, lots of SS> CPU, faster HD, all of the above? Am I better splitting the index file SS> into 2 (N?) versions and search on multiple indexes simultaneously? SS> Anyone have any thoughts about this?
