If you are going to be searching the same index, just keep that
instance of IndexSearcher around, and close it only when you no longer
need it, or when you detect that the index changed (e.g. docs
added/deleted), at which point you will want to close the old
IndexSearcher (or just throw it away and let the GC deal with it), and
get a new one.
This may actually exist as a FAQ, and if not, it's been addressed in
the past, so the list archives will have more information.
