When running a real world search engine, we will have a script to do the fetching all the time and re-index periodicly. I am wondering how people manage their segments/indexes data: do you let your crawl script write directly to webapp's 'search.dir', or let the crawl script write into one place then copy it over to 'search.dir'?
And seems I have to restart J2EE server or at least re-deploy the webapp to let search.jsp read the new data. What is the best practice to have the least interruption of service? Thank you very much. Yong
