Thanks Adrien, So far I think I figured out a solution to my problem. I added the following lines to my deletion and it seems to work fine.
indexWriter.commit(); indexWriter.forceMergeDeletes(true); indexWriter.deleteUnusedFiles(); However, with your response, especially if I come across problems later. reader.liveDocs() is not found in IndexWriter. I am guessing you are referring to the TermsEnum class. I assume numDocs() returns the amount of documents that are left to search and maxDoc() is the greatest id that still exists. I believe my program is working fine for me now because I am using the forceMergeDeletes() method, so that numDocs() will always be the same as maxDoc(). Am I right on my assumptions?

You must iterate from 0 to maxDoc() and skip deleted documents (using reader.liveDocs()). -- Adrien --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
