Aha, maybe that is what happened, thanks! So this means there is no "switch" for "clear the index first" as there is with Lucene's IndexWriter, for example. An explicit server.deleteByQuery( "*:*" ); is needed.

One thing I didn't find is a way to add documents to an existing index without overwriting the index. I looked at the sources and the unit tests, but didn't spot the "append modus operandi". Ryan, or somebody, where should I look? Thanks, Otis
