The number(aka doc-id) is given by lucene and is it's an internal sequential integer. This number is usually retrieved from Hits.id(int) of your search. Hits myHits = myIndexSearcher.search( myQuery ); for ( int i=0; i<myHits.length(); i++ ) { Document doc = myHits.doc( myHits.id( i ) ); // myHits.id( i ) retrieves the i-th doc-id and // myHits.doc( myHits.id( i ) ) returns the desired i-th document // in the result myHits. } HTH > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Luke Francl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Lucene Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 1:26 AM > Subject: Re: modifying existing index > > > On Tue, 2004-11-23 at 13:59, Santosh wrote: > > > I am using lucene for indexing, when I am creating Index the docuemnts > are added. but when I want to modify the single existing document and > reIndex again, it is taking as new document and adding one more time, so > that I am getting same document twice in the results. > > > To overcome this I am deleting existing Index and again recreating whole > Index. but is it possibe to index the modified document again and overwrite > existing document without deleting and recreation. can I do this?
