Hi, I had searched the archive of this list for getting more info on "How to delete a document from the lucene index". But most of the postings talk about IndexReader.delete(docNum). When we tried to delete a single document entry from the index , what we found is : the whole index got deleted.
1) Can anyone help us on how we can handle this ? 2) When the search results will reflect that, the particular document which I had deleted ,is not there ? Do I need to "optimize" the index for this ? 3) After adding few more documents to an existing index, what effect will it have on search , if I don't optimize the index immediately ? Will these new documents will be searchable before optimization ?
