My experience is that the query time (and memory usage) can be affected greatly by booleans that retrieve lots of results.
Are you finding it slow when doing a simple query that should return only a handful of results, or is it on more complex queries? -----Original Message----- From: Maurice Coyle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 1:29 PM To: Lucene Users List Subject: large index query time hi, i recently merged a whole lot of indexes into one big index for testing purposes. however, now the programs i use to search the index are taking much longer. this may be a stupid question (or very simple) and please tell me if it is, but should this be the case? i mean, i realise it'll take longer to search over a larger collection, but it's taking an order of magnitude longer. this is the reaosn i'm asking, since if lucene is capable of handling large-scale search apps presumably it's set up to search large collections rapidly. maybe there's some steps i can take to speed things up (i optimised the big index when it was finished being created) or something i'm missing? if i can give any information which will help the diagnosis of this problem please specify it. thanks, maurice --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
