Hi David, this is not true, please take a look to IndexWriter#setRAMBufferSizeMB and IndexWriter#setMaxBufferedDocs
But you can produce 9 segments (each with only one document), if you call IndexWriter#flush or IndexWriter#commit after each addDocument so from my knowledge about lucene there is no difference between #flush and #optimize(getMergeFactor()) (btw #optimize() is equal to optimize(1) ). Best regards Karsten p.s. and yes, searching goes through every segment.
