: You hit the nail on the head though: I am using a MultiSearcher. 100+ : indexes, each with millions of documents. The memory usage when : storing the strings is very, very high. : : I'll do a little more research about the memory usage and expanding to : more boxes and repost to the list. Don't overlook my first point about using FieldCache with your own IntParser -- that should be just as fast as adding another version of the field that doesn't use NumberTools with the added bonus of not requiring another field. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
