I'm using Lucene 1.4.3, and maxBufferedDocs only appears to be in the new
(unreleased?) version of IndexWriter in CVS. Looking at the code though,
setMaxBufferedDocs(n) just translates to minMergeDocs = n. My index was
constructed using the default minMergeDocs = 10, so somehow this doesn't
seem to be the culprit that caused all 2 million+ documents to be missing
from the crashed index. It seems more likely that none of the index files
were "registered" in Lucene's segements file. Is there perhaps some other
trigger that causes Lucene to "register" the indexes in the segments file,
or is there some way of flushing the segments file every so often to ensure
that it's list is up to date? Thanks again for your assistance.
Michael.

No, using the same IndexWriter is the way to go. If you want things to be
written to disk more frequently, lower the maxBufferedDocs setting. Go
down to 1, if you want. You'll use less memory (RAM), Documents will be
written to disk without getting buffered in RAM, but the indexing process
will be slower.
