That's true. If you're doing updates (as opposed to just additions) then you probably want to do something like:
1. keep a single open IndexReader used by all searches
2. Every few minutes, process updates as follows:
a. open a second IndexReader
b. delete all documents that will be updated
c. close this IndexReader, to flush deletions
d. open an IndexWriter
e. add all documents that are updated
f. close the IndexReader
g. replace the IndexReader used for searches (1, above)
Correction: (f) should read "close the IndexWriter".
