You are correct, sir! I failed Lucene History 101 :-) And I failed my fundamental rule for discussing a search library, which is to do a search first to see if the answer already exists!

At any rate, here's some history on it: http://www.gossamer- threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/22104

Nothing like a trip down memory lane.  Sorry for the diversion.

That doesn't sound right... MultiReader is more fundamental as it's needed
to read any multi-segment index.

Looking back at the history of IndexReader, it looks like there was a
class called SegmentsReader (note the plural).  I bet it was moved
to MultiReader and that is why the history is truncated.
