some questions on ezfind configuration

1- how often is the search index updated? is it updated periodically or on obj publication?
I have seen that, after installing ezfind, I need to run the updatesearchindex script by hand at least once before the search takes off, but I don't know if I have to schedule it or not...

2 - moving solr search index into ez var dir (to keep ez directories read-only, for improved security): is this correct: <i><dataDir>../../../var/solr_data</dataDir></i> in solrconfig.xml?
what about java/solr/conf/scripts.conf?

2b - is the data dir read by the java process, by the php indexer, by both?

In fact I am not sure about this: is all communication with eZSolr done exclusively via http?

ps: sorry if any of these questions has already been answered on the forums/ mailing list. One sure welcome addition to the docs would be a small architectural overview, with a nice graph and the details of the different scripts/configs/processes involved...

Hi

1 - The search index is updated by the same intervals as the regular search in eZ Publish. Please not that it may take an additional minute for eZ Find to have the indexed content available for searching.

2a - Sounds like a good enhancement. Please create an issue in the Issue tracker about this.

2b - By the Java process. All communucation with eZSolr is done using HTTP.
