OK, thanks. As far as I understand, there's no problem performance wise or other to use a singleton reader for multiple threads/users, right?
I've considered Solr, but my conclusion is that installing and configuring something a bit geeky to configure, running on Java when all our stuff is Windows/MSSQL/.net just to save myself from using lucene.net within my existing c# code, seems like overkill. :) We also have some very specific configuration and UI needs for the system we are indexing, and it's all ended up quite nice. The main reason was that our SQL searches (like '%...%') combined with crappy legacy rendering took a minute, the current lucene searches with security, highlighting, other rules, multiple fields etc. takes <1 sec. Besides, it's more fun getting to know and tamper around with lucene itself.

Have you considered Solr? That would probably take care of most of the complications pretty much out of the box. http://lucene.apache.org/solr/features.html -- Ian.
