Sebastin, Lucene is just like a plain database table. It doesn't have uniqueness constraint. So you can have two documents of the exact same content.
What you should do is to check for duplication before adding. And if duplication is found, delete the old Document and add a new Document. This way, you can control what your "unique key" is. -- 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 DBSight customer, a shopping comparison site, (anonymous per request) got 2.6 Million Euro funding!
