: Works ok. But I've noticed that the faq recommends issuing <optimize /> : before reindexing. The problem is <optimize/> also seems to commit : changes, so the index is empty until I reindex and the search can't be : online.
please note what question that recomendation appears in... "How can I rebuild my index from scratch if I change my schema?" If you are not changing your schema, then that answer does not apply to you. deleting documents and reading them (without optimizing fist) is perfectly fine. : Will sending <optimize /> after reindexing help? if your index only changes in big batches then it's almost always beneficial to do an optimize after your indexing. -Hoss
