I certainly recommend testing this to see what kind of response times you get for the first and successive searches after the caches are built - be sure to use the same IndexReader for all searches to benefit from caching :)

Sorting on 4-5 columns seems kind of extreme. Sorting uses up RAM with the caches, so it would surely be much more efficient to collapse the fields you need to sort by into a single field if possible, and try to do so numerically rather than as Strings.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing your views with us. Is sorting works properly. Is there any idea regarding time estimation for sort on 4-5 columns with 1 million
records?

Regards,
Manoj

One of my case is using PIII 450MHz 256M RAM, with 1million records,
the search is around 3~4 seconds for the very first search, and
sub-second, usually under 0.5 second.

Sorting on one column will be longer, like 7~8 seconds for the first
sort. And subseconds with cache.

Hi,
I am having 1,00,000 documents in a index but in near future it will be

3 million and more. I am somewhat concerned about the searhing process with this much number of document. I am giving order on some fields of documents. Could anybody tell be the expected result from lucene engine with
3 million results and order/sorted on 4 column.


Thanks,
Manoj
