Wording on FAQ entry

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

Hi, I just wanted to check the wording on this FAQ entry to see if it means what it says, or what I'd prefer it to mean.  The entry is:

"Is the IndexSearcher thread-safe?
Yes, IndexSearcher is thread-safe. Multiple search threads may access the index concurrently without any problems. "

So, the part in question is "Multiple search threads may access the index concurrently"

However, I think the question is really asking "Can multiple threads access the same SEARCHER at the same time?"

yes, I've clarified the answer...

  Yes, IndexSearcher is thread-safe.  Multiple search threads may use the
  same instance of IndexSearcher concurrently without any problems.
