Ok, I think I get it now. You're right that you probably don't want to
iterate the Hits object since that has performance issues once you get
beyond 100 docs or so. Although, I don't know how big your result sets are.
If they are guaranteed to be small, this may not matter.
I'm guessing you want to implement a custom HitCollector. That has it's own
cautions about calling, say, IndexReader.document(id) for each hit, so you
probably want to use TermDocs object. seek() and skipTo() and doc() are your
friends. Although I'd try the simple way of just calling
IndexReader.document(id) first just to see if the performance was
acceptable. Be sure you're looking at a truly representative data set though
<G>...
Hope this helps

I think your above solution is very near to what i am looking for ,
But little bit different way...
here is what i am planning to do...
Suppose my index has four fields "product-title" , "product-desc" ,
"category" and "FLAG" ( Fieldname FLAG has value "true" for each n
every
doc in index ...just added for iteration purpose )
At search time.. .
query = +(product-title:nokia) +(product-desc:nokia)
Hits hits = searcher.search(query);
I want to fetch unique "category" from above hits object...
But i dont want to iterate through Hits object....
Now As per your suggestions, I can do something like this...
TermEnum enum = termDocs(new Term("FLAG","true")
But it will return enumeration of all the document which is in index...But
i
want enumeration of all the document which is relevant to "nokia"...
How to . . ?
Thanks
