Thanks all for your feedback. I'm going to look at building a dedicated server that keeps one IndexSearcher open and each servlet would use that. Either that or look deeper into the Jetty framework to see if I can simply invoke a global IndexSearcher when the server starts and use that. Not quite sure how. Luc, DelayCloseIndexSearcher looks like something that might be of help - I'll have a look at that as well.
