Hi, Antoine, It does take a long time to open the index reader. One thing you could do is to put new documents into one smaller index and re-open it, it should be much faster.
Also, you may need to have one index reader open, and open a new index reader, then close the previous index reader, to ensure no service down time. -- Chris Lu ------------------------- Instant Scalable Full-Text Search On Any Database/Application site: http://www.dbsight.net demo: http://search.dbsight.com Lucene Database Search in 3 minutes: http://wiki.dbsight.com/index.php?title=Create_Lucene_Database_Search_in_3_minutes On 8/29/07, Antoine Baudoux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have an application with a 2GB index.
