Lucene.Net will run in a 64 bit environment with no problems, we do it here.
As for putting the complete index in RAM, the index size is limited to 2GB in a RAMDirectory.

We need to know if lucene.net is capable of running in a 64 bit environment and if being in a 64 bit environment will increase performance or will it just operate as 32 bit. Has anyone had experience with this type of deployment? Will this allow us to use ram instead of file system. Our index size is > 2 gigs. Thanks in advance Mark Burks
