The 15 second hard autocommit is not for the purpose of update visibility, but for durability (hence the hard autocommit uses openSearcher=false). It simply makes sure that recent changes are flushed to disk. If you want to automatically see changes after some period of time, use an additional soft autocommit for that (and leave the hard autocommit exactly as configured), or use commitWithin when you do an update... that's more flexible and allows you to specify latency on a per-update basis. -Yonik lucenerevolution.com - Lucene/Solr Open Source Search Conference.
