Great. Thanks Erik. I haven't experienced any performance problems with lucene, and our indexes are reletively small (less than 10 thousand). I've been working with a commercial search engine who's API had pagable results built in, and so I just assumed that it existed for lucene. I'm glad to hear that it's handled internally and think that's a much better route. I'd just like to mention that lucene is a MUCH more solid product than the third party search engine we're investigating, and lucene may be our final choice because of it. thanks for putting together such a solid product!
