The IndexSearcher(MultiReader) will be faster (it's what's used for indicies with multiple segments too). -Yonik Now hiring -- http://forms.cnet.com/slink?231706 On 11/11/05, Mike Streeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have several indexes I want to search together. What performs better a > sing

You should run your own tests, but I found the MultiReader to be slower than a regular IndexReader. I was running on a dual-cpu box and two separate disk drives. Charles. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For addit

Look at IndexReader.open() It actually uses a MultiReader if there are multiple segments. -Yonik Now hiring -- http://forms.cnet.com/slink?231706 On 11/11/05, Charles Lloyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You should run your own tests, but I found the MultiReader to be slower > than a regular IndexR

"Why would it matter...top 5 matches" Because Lucene has to calculate the score of all documents in order to insure that it returns those 5 documents. What if the very last document scored was the most relevant? Best Erick On Sun, Oct 23, 2011 at 3:06 PM, sol myr wrote: > Hi, > > We've noticed s
