Hi, I am sorry, I don't quite understand what you meant by..
IndexWriter.updateDocument(...) HTH Let me re-phrase my question: I need to append to an existing index. Presently, the code is structured to check for the existing file, and exit if the file exists: if(INDEX_FILE.exists()) { System.out.println("Index File exists, remove existing index and retry"); System.exit(1); } IndexWriter write = new IndexWriter(INDEX_FILE, new StandardAnalyser(), true); indexDocs(writer, FILE_TO_BE_INDEXED); writer.optimize() writer.close(); What files do I need to modify ? And what functions? Can you please advise.
