Delete not working in lucene indexing (3.5.0)

I am using lucene 3.5.0. I used IndexWriter.deleteDocuments(new Term(field, value)) to delete the index. I performed a delete and there were no exceptions. But still I could find the Lucene document of the particular field while I search. I am able see the document values in the index file(.fdt file) in the file system. How to crosscheck it?

Have you called IndexWriter's commit() or close() after calling deleteDocuments(Term)? Deletions are not visible to IndexReader (and therefore IndexSearcher) until either commit() or close() is called.
