Martin's got it right. You might get some mileage out of the IndexModifier class if you have to do insertions and deletions, but really read the documentation.
Also note: Any changes you make to an index are invisible to a searcher that's already open. You have to close/reopen that searcher to see the effects of index modifications (either insertions or deletions). Erick On 11/8/06, Martin Braun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
