The overhead of creating that many searcher objects is going to far outweigh any performance benefit you could possibly hope to gain by splitting your index up. On Thu, 14 Oct 2004 04:42:27 -0700 (PDT), Otis Gospodnetic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Search a single merged index. Otis ---

Yes you can reuse analyzers. The only performance gain will come from not having to create the objects and not having garbage collection overhead. I create one for each of my index reading threads. On Thu, 07 Oct 2004 16:59:38 +, sam s [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Can instance of an

your analyzer will have removed the stopword when you indexed your documents, so lucene won't be able to do this for you. You will need to implement a second pass over the results returned by lucene and check to see if the stopword is included, perhaps with String.indexOf() On Wed, 27 Oct 2004

If you know all the phrases your are going to search for, you could modify an analyzer to make those phrases into whole terms when you are analyzing. Other than that, you can test the speed of breaking the phrase query up into term queries. You would have to do an AND on all the words in the

You can write to the index and read from it at the same time. You can only have one IndexWriter open at any one time. IndexSearchers will only see documents that were created before they were instantiated, so you need to create new ones periodically to see new documents. On Mon, 8 Nov 2004

You could lock your index for writes, then copy the file using operating system copy commands. Another way would be to lock your index, make a filesystem snapshot, then unlock your index. You can then safely copy the snapshot without interupting further index operations. On Wed, 17 Nov 2004

As a generalisation, SuSE itself is not a lot slower than Windows XP. I also very much doubt that filesystem is a factor. If you want to test w/out filesystem involvement, simply load your index into a RAMDirectory instead of using FSDirectory. That precludes filesystem overhead in searches.

You can only have one open writer at a time. A writer is either an IndexWriter object, or an IndexReader object that has modified the index, by deleting documents for instance. You must close your existing writer before you open a new one. You should not get lock exceptions with IndexSearchers.
