Unfortunately, no. Once open, the IndexReader/IndexSearcher searches a frozen "point in time" snapshot of the index as it existed when it was first opened.
You'll have to open a new searcher in order to see the changes. However, there is work underway now to add a "reopen" method to IndexReader that somewhat lowers the cost of opening a reader (not yet clear by how much). This should be part of the next release (2.3).
