Hi Oren, In the grand scheme of things and in comparison to some of the participants knowledge on here I am fairly new and inexperienced to Java and Lucene.
I thought my way may be the most effectual method of implementing the commit.I am using many methods of searching/reading the index for a variety of reasons.The facility I am trying to implement is the ability to delete a document from the index.Do I need to commit or just reader.close? I have the LIA book which is superb and have read the sections regarding delete.If it mentions commit maybe I missed it? Thanks, Malcolm
