a FSDirectory, though, and it sounds like that is what you are after.=0A=0A=

Lucene indexes in memory=0A=0AHi all,=0A=0AI want to understand how lucene =
searches its index -- does it load the whole=0Aindex into memory at once? I=
s there any way to make sure that it does so.=0A=0AI want to optimize maxim=
ally on the search time required by lucene on over=0A~7M short documents. T=
he queries that I deal are 6 to 7 tokens on an=0Aaverage.=0A=0AYour help on=
 this will be appreciated.=0A=0A-Deepa=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A
