by definition your key field has to be unique just like a primary key in a database. So I think the easiest way to retrieve the doc_id for key '11' is to run a search for 'key:11'. However that might not be what you want since you would end up querying again for the record you already have found. Instead, the Index class should store the document id in the returned LazyDoc instance, which is not possible atm, imho. cheers, Jens -- webit!
