The methods of the IndexWriter class are listed below. For a complete list of IndexWriter class members, see the IndexWriter Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 AddDocument | Overloaded. Adds a document to this index, using the provided analyzer instead of the value of {@link #GetAnalyzer()}. If the document contains more than {@link #maxFieldLength} terms for a given Field, the remainder are discarded. |
| AddIndexes | Overloaded. Merges the provided indexes into this index. After this completes, the index is optimized. The provided IndexReaders are not closed. |
| Close | Flushes all changes to an index and closes all associated files. |
| DocCount | Returns the number of documents currently in this index. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| GetAnalyzer | Returns the analyzer used by this index. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetSimilarity | |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| GetUseCompoundFile | Setting to turn on usage of a compound file. When on, multiple files for each segment are merged into a single file once the segment creation is finished. This is done regardless of what directory is in use. |
| Optimize | Merges all segments together into a single segment, optimizing an index for search. |
| SetSimilarity | Expert: Set the Similarity implementation used by this IndexWriter. |
| SetUseCompoundFile | Setting to turn on usage of a compound file. When on, multiple files for each segment are merged into a single file once the segment creation is finished. This is done regardless of what directory is in use. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Protected Instance Methods
 Finalize | Release the write lock, if needed. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
