If you want to stick with the approach of multiple indexes you'll have to add some logic to work round it.
Option 1. Post merge, loop through all docs identifying duplicates and deleting the one(s) you don't want. Option 2. Pre merge, read all indexes in parallel, identifying and deleting as above. Option 3. When creating a new index, check the first and delete matches or don't index the file, whichever makes sense. I'm sure there are other options as well, but no instant solutions. One obvious option is to skip the merging altogether: if you want one big index, why not just work directly with that, using updateDocument with filename as the Term. -- Ian.
