Hi Ganesh,

Thank you very much for this article.

I’m using Lucene_Search_Lucene for a while in one project, and it was working perfect untill yesterday… I started to get this error message: “Index is under processing now”. Have you ever had to deal with it?. I have searched in Google and have seen another cases, but with no answer…

By the way, i’m indexing just user information (10.500 users), like name, last_name, username, and passport.

Every time a user updates his information, the index is updated. But I’m not callig the “optimize” method… (because I didn’t know it), do you think it’s a method to be called every time a user updates his info or to be called in a batch process executed at night or something?

Well… I hope you can help me! thank you very much!

How do you handle of data being updated. Like i add a lucene document on user creation. I need to update the document when it’s edited and may be removed from the index when it’s deleted.

I know how to delete the index with ID, but how to exactly find the document with ID ? Any ideas ?

Hi Vincent,
Use a single index, for searchable field for which you are planning title and category, Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text. For others you can use based on the data type, for contents use Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Unstored, for time use Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed

Hi Ganesh,
If I want to provide another option to user for searching just title and category, should I create another index including “url”, “articleid”, “time”, “title”, “category”? Or should I separate the index you created into two indexes, one includeing fields “url”, “articleid”, “time”, “title”, “category”, the other includeing fields “url”, “articleid”, “time”, “contents”?
