scability issues

Hello all,

Just want to poll the community if they have any issues running 
lucene.net on index files of 1GB or greater? If so, what are the 
recommended work-arounds?

Hello Dean,

That's very encouraging, thanks.

One of the indexes we use with Lucene.Net is 66GB. About the only 
problem we have is that with so many documents (around 7.5 million) is 
that lots of common search terms are in *lots* of documents. So we 
basically just set a hard limit on the number of documents we'll return 
from the lucene index.

That's not a limitation of Lucene, though, that's a limitation of the 
processing we do with the resultant documents...

Dean.
