Delete doesn't delete?

[Dan Quaroni <dq...@OPENRATINGS.com>]

I know there's a little bit of trickery when it comes to deletes (i.e. it's still in the index until optimize, still available to open readers, etc) however I'm having this problem:

I've implemented a call to delete by term.  It tells me that it deleted 1 item, but then I go and open a new reader on the index, search for this document, and I find it.  Confused, I run the delete again, and it once again tells me 1 document deleted.  And still, I can open a new searched and search for it.

I've tried closing the reader that I used to delete it, still no luck.

Any suggestions?

can you provide some sample code that demonstrates this problem? ...
preferably something that uses hardcoded data to built up an index in a
RAMDirectory so ayone can run the test without needing any external data?

it would make it a lot easier for other people to help you diagnose what's
going on.
