Hi Rob, After you build the initial index (10.4M) you can see that the directory contains some files - those are the index files. I am sure that the size and number of those initial files doesn't change while you query Lucene. When you say the index grows, I assume you are referring to other files that are added to the index directory therefore increasing the size of the directory and not the initial index files. One experiment you could do is to inspect the index directory after each query. This should give you an idea of what is going on. Also, it might help sending some code snippets to the list to get more informed help...

We built a Windows Explorer type tool that indexes all files in a "sabdboxed" file system. Each Lucene document contains stuff like path, parent directory, last modified date, file_lock etc.. When we display the files in a given directory through the tool we query the index about 5 times for each file in the repository, this is done so we can display all attributes in the index about that file. So for example if there are 5 files in the directory, each file has 6 attributes that means about 30 term queries are executed. The initial index when build it about 10.4megs, after accessing about 3 or 4 directories the index size increased to over 100megs, and we did not add anything!! All we are doing is querying!! Yesterday after querying became ungodly slow, we looked at the index size it had grown from 10megs to 1.5GB (granted we tested the tool all morning). But I have no idea why the index is growing like this. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not add anything.
