I need to access it as it is in the zip file. IndexSearcher cannot be constructed using a zip file or a stream to a file. It can be constructed to either FSDirectory or RAMDirectory. Both are not useful in my case. On 2/19/06, gekkokid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > couldnt you use the java zip libr

Re: Accessing Lucene Index stored in a jar file
