Hi all, After reading the FAQ I have a question regarding the use of multiple indexes and thus IndexSearches on the one server.
I work on ecommerce websites and am looking at replacing our current method of full text searching product descriptions and names with a Lucene implementation. I envisaged creating a separate index file for each of the sites running on our main webserver (about 10 sites, each with different product listings). However this would mean that I would need to have many instances of IndexSearcher open and potentially come across file handle limit problems (as outlined in the FAQ) as well as consuming lots of memory. Is this a valid concern? Would I be able to use Lucene this way? An alternative would be to combine all the sites data into one index, and have a field identifiying which site each product entry belonged to. However I would rather not mix the data together. Thanks, Henrik
