See basically u mean that if my indexes have values say 1,2,3,4 and if i search for 3 - it would give me the results but now lets assume that i open an indexwriter and its writting 5,6,7,8 and simultaneously a request (search) for 7 comes.. it would not not find it until the indexwriter is closed... If that the case >* One IndexWriter at a time. >* As many IndexReaders as you want at a time. >* If you want to pick up a change made by the >IndexWriter, you need to close >the IndexWriter before opening the IndexReader. (In >other words, any open >IndexReaders won't pick up the change.) _______________________________________________ Lucene-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lucene-users
