You're on the right track. In a system where the indexing process and search process are on the same machine, commits by the index process cause a new searcher to opened.
In a master/slave situation (assuming you are indexing on the master and searching on the slave), then the searchers are reopened on the slaves after a replication. Replications happen after 1> a commit happens on the master and 2> the slave polls the master and pulls down the new commits.
