: anywhere.  I checked the count coming back from the delete operation and
: it is zero.  I even tried to delete another unique term with similar
: results.

First off, are you absolutely certain you are closing the reader?  it's
not in the code you listed.

Second, I'd bet $1 that when your documents were indexed, your "reference"
field was analyzed and parsed into multiple terms.  Did you try searching
for the Term you're trying to delete by?

(I hear "luke" is a pretty handy tool for checking exactly which Terms are
in your index)
