I will assume by index document, you are referring to a document that has been indexed. If not, delete and forget. When we need to remove a document, we go through the process of filtering out the document by using the following procedure: 1. build temporary nutch configuration directory build special filter files based on document(s) to be filtered out point NUTCH_CONF_DIR env var to temporary nutch configuration directory 2. run bin/nutch mergedb $NEWCRAWLDBDIR $CRAWLDBDIR -filter 3. run bin/nutch mergesegs $NEWSEGMENTSDIR -dir $SEGMENTSDIR -filter 4. run bin/nutch mergelinkdb $NEWLINKDBDIR $LINKDBDIR -filter 5. run standard set to rebuild index: bin/nutch index $NEWINDEXESDIR $CRAWLDBDIR $LINKDBDIR $NEWSEGLIST bin/nutch dedup $NEWINDEXESDIR bin/nutch merge -workingdir $NUTCHTMPDIR $NEWINDEXDIR $NEWINDEXESDIR The variable names should be self-explanatory. If not, just let me know. JohnM -- john mendenhall [EMAIL PROTECTED] surf utopia internet services
