You shouldn't have to. It depends on the type of index you are using. Typically indexes are stored on the file system. They can however be RAM based that you would need to serialize to persist, or I believe you could use other storage mediums such as CD rom.
However typically, it is persisted on the file system, and you only have to give the IndexWriter, Searcher, etc... the path to the index to use it the next time you start Lucene. -B Brandon Jockman ISOGEN International, LLC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hyong Ko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 5:33 PM Subject: Index Persistency > Do I have to reindex everything when I restart Lucene?
