You should *not* create a new Searcher for every request. Open the Searcher one time (e.g. in your servlets init() method) and keep it open. Close it on we application shutdown.
If your index changes inbetween, you should reopen it (e.g. by testing for IndexReader.isCurrent() and if not, reopening it). Searcher is threadsafe, so no worries. IndexSearcher has no reopen method, so you must reopen the underlying reader. A strategy to do that is to open the IndexReader one time (not the IndexSearcher), and reopen it as needed. Then create an IndexSearcher from it (which is no cost at all, as IndexSearcher is just a wrapper around IndexReader). So use the ctor of IndexSearcher that takes an IndexReader. You can create a new IndexSearcher on top of an IndexReader for each request, there is not problem with it (because it is a thin wrapper). The important thing is only, that a reopened Reader needs a new IndexSearcher. This is done by using a fresh instance for each request. Another possibility is to also reuse the IndexSearcher, but replace it with a new one after each reopen of the IndexReader. ----- Uwe Schindler H.-H.-Meier-Allee 63, D-28213 Bremen http://www.thetaphi.de eMail: u...@thetaphi.de > -----Original Message----- > From: m.harig [mailto:m.ha...@gmail.com] > Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 5:37 PM > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: reading index > > > Thanks, > this is my code snippet > > public void doSearch(){ > .............................. > > Query query = > ................................................. > > IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory); > Hits hits = searcher.search(query); > > for(int i=start;i<end;i++){ > > // getting doc to display fields > > } > > searcher.close(); > } > > am calling this method everytime when a user tries to search a > keyword. is it correct or wrong?
