Tobias, The question is a little too open, I think. Perhaps start by saying what you've tried, what doesn't work, what you think won't work, the actual rate of change, the size of your index and, very importantly, how quickly you need to see index changes (adds, deletes, updates).
How about this for the boostrap question: just update (delete+add) the whole Document and reopen the IndexSeearcher every N minutes. Would that work for you? Does only the stored data change or also searchable data? If the former, you could choose to store that in the external data store (e.g. RDBMS, BDB...)

With dynamic data I mean, data which changes very often within the typical index rebuild cycle, i.e. transactional data. A good example is the sorting of products in an online store by product availability. Does anybody know good reading resources (approaches, whitepapers, books etc.) for integrating such dynamic information into a search/ranking functionality? (I already searched at Google, but couldn't find anything useful though.) Thanks in advance! -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
