IndexReader.delete(Term)?

[petite_abeille <pe...@mac.com>]

Hello,

This is more a sanity check, than anything else, but...

I'm trying to delete a document using IndexReader.delete(Term)... (for 
the record I'm using 1.3-rc1)

The document was created with a Field.Keyword() to uniquely identify it.

The document exists, was saved, can be queried, life is good :)

But then... when trying to delete the same document later on... 
IndexReader.delete(Term) returns 0 and the document doesn't get 
deleted... which is driving me crazy 8}

Here is what I'm doing to delete the document:

     Term	aTerm = new Term( aKey, anID );

     aReader.delete( aTerm );
     aReader.close();

The term looks like the following:

szid:3FA7168800F7FDE8ECAA35500A00012D

But this doesn't seem to do anything... The document is still there no 
matter what...

I'm sure I'm doing something very wrong, but for the life of me I 
cannot see what... anything obvious I'm missing?

Thanks.

Cheers,

PA.

What you are doing looks fine to me.  I'm sure these are obvious 
questions, kinda like "is your computer plugged in?", but here goes:

- How are you determining that the document is still there?  With an 
IndexReader?  IndexSearcher?
- A freshly created (i.e. after the delete) Index[Searcher|Reader]?
- And finally, did you remember to recompile?!  :))  (just kidding)
