yes there is a new searcher opened each time a search is conducted,
This is because the index is updated every 5 mins or so, due to the incoming feed of stories .. When you say iteration, i take it you mean, search request, well for each search that is conducted I create a new one .. search reader that is .. On 8/19/06, Chris Hostetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
: hits = searcher.search(query, new Sort("sid", true)); you don't show where searcher is initialized, and you don't clarify how you are timing your multiple iterations -- i'm going to guess that you are opening a new searcher every iteration right? sorting on a field requires pre-computing an array of information for that field -- this is both time and space expensive, and is cached per IndexReader/IndexSearcher -- so if you reuse the same searcher and time multiple iterations you'll find that hte first iteration might be somewhat slow, but the rest should be very fast. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
