I tried the find this Nutch answer in the docs and mailing list, sorry that 
it's a bit naive.  Assuming Nutch distributes the index over many machines, 
does it use the NutchFS as a the Directory for IndexSearcher or does not use 
RemoteMultiSearcher?

True, however it may be an interesting direction to go in.  They seem to make 
the information nearly immediately searchable.  Surely we can do the same.

Yes.  Folks have developed incrementally updateable IndexSearchers 
before, but none is yet part of Lucene.

That's probably a safe assumption.  Their architecture is designed to 
support real-time things like calendars, email, etc.  Search engines, 
Lucene's normal domain, are not usually real-time, but have indexing delays.
