Class SearcherFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.search.SearcherFactory

    public class SearcherFactory

extends Object

Factory class used by `SearcherManager` and `NRTManager` to create new IndexSearchers. The default implementation just creates an IndexSearcher with no custom behavior:

       public IndexSearcher newSearcher(IndexReader r) throws IOException {
         return new IndexSearcher(r);
       }

You can pass your own factory instead if you want custom behavior, such as:

- Setting a custom scoring model: `IndexSearcher.setSimilarity(Similarity)`
- Parallel per-segment search: `IndexSearcher.IndexSearcher(IndexReader, ExecutorService)`
- Return custom subclasses of IndexSearcher (for example that implement distributed scoring)
- Run queries to warm your IndexSearcher before it is used. Note: when using near-realtime search you may want to also `IndexWriterConfig.setMergedSegmentWarmer(IndexWriter.IndexReaderWarmer)` to warm newly merged segments in the background, outside of the reopen path.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
