Antony, your assumptions were (and still are) correct - once an index reader is opened it is unaffected by changes to the underlying index. Would it be clearer if the javadoc said: "(An IndexReader instance will see changes to the index caused by flush operations that completed prior to opening that IndexReader instance)."? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
