Class SearcherManager

Utility class to safely share IndexSearcher instances across multiple threads, while periodically reopening. This class ensures each searcher is disposed only once all threads have finished using it.

Use Acquire() to obtain the current searcher, and Release(G) to release it, like this:

IndexSearcher s = manager.Acquire();
try 
{
    // Do searching, doc retrieval, etc. with s
} 
finally 
{
    manager.Release(s);
    // Do not use s after this!
    s = null;
}

In addition you should periodically call MaybeRefresh(). While it's possible to call this just before running each query, this is discouraged since it penalizes the unlucky queries that do the reopen. It's better to use a separate background thread, that periodically calls MaybeRefresh(). Finally, be sure to call Dispose() once you are done.

SearcherManager(IndexWriter, Boolean, SearcherFactory)

Creates and returns a new SearcherManager from the given IndexWriter.

Declaration
public SearcherManager(IndexWriter writer, bool applyAllDeletes, SearcherFactory searcherFactory)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IndexWriter writer

The IndexWriter to open the IndexReader from.

System.Boolean applyAllDeletes

If true, all buffered deletes will be applied (made visible) in the IndexSearcher / DirectoryReader. If false, the deletes may or may not be applied, but remain buffered (in IndexWriter) so that they will be applied in the future. Applying deletes can be costly, so if your app can tolerate deleted documents being returned you might gain some performance by passing false. See OpenIfChanged(DirectoryReader, IndexWriter, Boolean).

SearcherFactory searcherFactory

An optional SearcherFactory. Pass null if you don't require the searcher to be warmed before going live or other custom behavior.

Parameters

SearcherFactory searcherFactory
