Thanks Doug. I see my mistake now. I should have used IndexSearcher(Directory directory), where directory is an instance of URLDirectory. Instead I used IndexSearcher(String path).
That seems obvious, and the approach is vastly superior. I have no idea why I didn't do it that way before.

Why do you need to modify IndexReader, rather than just pass it a different Directory implementation?
