Hi Barbara, while mergeFactor deals with the size of new segments and the number of segments in the index, minMergeDocs deals only with the size of new segments. minMergeDocs sets the number of documents a new segment must contain before it is written from RAM to the index. So does mergeFactor; in addition to that mergeFactor sets at the same time the maximum number of segments that will be present in the index. When the number is equal to mergeFactor Lucene tries to merge all the segments into a new one. Ciao, Lorenzo
