There are no problems searching while indexing. How are you experiencing otherwise? What error do you get?
I have experienced (lock) problems if I use a Reader and Writer (on the same index-directory) at the same time. My application is multithreaded (a pool of worker threads for the webrequests) and a scheduledworker thread for signaling changes (new (normal) files, changed files and removed files) and updating the index.
And I`m not the only one experiencing this problem... It ( Reader and Writer open at the same time) has been mentioned on mailinglist quite a few times.
Is your IndexReader doing deletes? That is the only time it locks the index (because that is essentially a write operation). If you're purely searching with the reader it should work fine with a writer concurrently.
