Hi Vijay, I'm not sure about the answer to your first question, therefore I leave it to the others.
Question No. 2 can be achieved by using distributed search: Start your search servers (one server per index): bin/nutch server <SERVER PORT> <CRAWL DIRECTORY> (use absolute paths) Create a file named "search-servers.txt" in a directory of your choice. Each line specifies a search server by server host and port: <SERVER HOST> <SERVER PORT> In the Nutch-site.xml of your servlet container change the property "searcher.dir" to point to the directory where you stored the search-servers.txt file. Restart your servlet container application. That's it.

Is it possible to make nutch search from the indexes directory directly without running IndexMerger on it to generate the index directory, possibly for a small performance hit? 2. Suppose I have two directories crawl1/ and crawl2/ each of which contain the crawldb, linkdb, segments, indexes and index directories. Is there an easy way by which I can get nutch to return search results from both the crawl1/ and crawl2/ directories? Can I simply configure it in nutch-default.xml or nutch-site.xml or a similar configuration file or would I need to somehow run two instances of nutch, get results for each query from both and manually put them together before serving them? In case I need to do the latter, is there a clean way to do it? Thanks, Vijay
