Hi,

I was doing some testing on Hibernate Search. I created some records through the system and they are successfully indexed. I expect to do a manual re-indexing after I ve modified the database manually that the change are not captured through the system..

However, after I ve made changes directly to the database, my search results reflects the newly updated records. Thus, can i say that Hibernate Search search the database instead of the indexed files? Can i enforce the Hibernate Search to search the indexed files only?

All columns in my entity are indexed and referenced the following example for search:

org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser parser = new QueryParser("title", new SimpleAnalyzer());
org.apache.lucene.search.Query luceneQuery = parser.parse( "title:sky Or title_stemmed:diamond" );
org.hibernate.Query fullTextQuery = fullTextSession.createFullTextQuery( luceneQuery, Song.class );
List result = fullTextQuery.list(); //return a list of managed objects

I'm sorry for the late answer, we from the Search team don't notice all posts on the wrong forum. Hibernate Search related questions should be posted on the Search forum.

Hibernate Search uses the indexes to perform your search, but by default loads data from the DB and shows only up-to-date data from still-existing hits, so it's using both index and DB, but on DB the performed query is very simple and efficient.
