Awesome that FAQ entry confused me and I didn't look at IndexWriter javadoc thinking that it wouldn't be there since deleteDocument is there in IndexReader. What is the best way to update a document? Search and do an update if the document is found/else insert or just try an update whatever be the case - the update will delete in case a document exists or will just insert a new document if the document doesn't exist in the index. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
