Thank you very much for your prompt response. In order to make a search, the mergeSegments() function must be called right? Otherwise IndexSearcher won't have the most updated index files to work with to do a search. I guess my point is that do I have to intermittenly call Optimize or Close (to call mergeSegments()) or make maybeMergeSegments to find a merge to do before using IndexSearcher? Btw, I am running IndexFiles and SearchFiles at the same time.
Also, when IndexWriter.addDocument is called per file, the function calls newSegmentName() to create its corresponding segement name. That segment name is used to create a SegmentInfo, which gets added to the SegmentInfos vector. Am I missing something?
