Thank you Jens. While all you say is true, the original rowset was over 8.000.000 rows and would have taken days or more. I just wanted to do some experimentation to see if my code would work. AaF is not that well documented (well perhaps for those smarter than I) and therefore I thought my best best was to play with it in the console. Little did I realize it would go off and index the table to start. And while you are correct that most of the time, you want an index, really there are use cases where you only want to index data from that time forward. Anyway I created a much smaller table and worked with it to start. However it created 28.000 files for 25.000 records. Still not quite right. But it does work in that I can search it. BTW: Is there a method to say only return fields from the documents that matched and not all the fields of documents that had matches? Of course I did my own filter. Best wishes and thank you for the advice and counsel.
