Hi Erick, I'm guessing that your problem is what gets indexed. What analyzer
are you using when indexing? One that breaks words apart on, say, periods?
I am using the StandardAnalyzer. When I do a test query using Luke, it returns the object I'm looking for. The query I use is: id:"com.mycompany.myapp.FooBar 142" and it returns my FooBar document with id 142.
What is your evidence that the doc still exists? Have you closed/reopened your reader before you check this? Remember that index changes aren't visible for an already-opened reader.
I am creating a new IndexSearcher object every time I do a search. But also, when I run the same query again in Luke after I do the update, after reloading the index in Luke, it returns both objects.
