Hi David,
no, Hibernate Search 3.2 does not have such feature, but since you can open an IndexReader you can make it in any way you would do that with Lucene APIs directly.
There's an open feature request for it, so it might come in future versions:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... SEARCH-269If you can help with that, then it's more likely to happen. Personally I'm wondering how the API would look like, so even if you don't have time to code it, it would be great to receive some feedback about how you would expect it to work.
