I'm searching a 20GB index and my searching JVM is allocated 1Gig. However, my indexing app only had 384mb availible to it, which means you can get away with far less. I believe certain index tables will need to be swapped in and out of memory though so it may not search as quickly.

With a 1.8gig index you could try the jvm default (64megs) and see how it works.

Do I have to keep something in mind to do searching on large indices?
I actually have an index with a size of 1.8gb. I have indexed 1.5 million items from Amazon.
How much memory do I have to give to the jvm?
As a sidenote I have to tell you that I optimized the index so it's one segment file.
Do I need to have 1.8gb memory available for the jvm?
