I don't think I understand what "only unique records from a single field" means. If it's a unique value in a filed, there'll only be one document in the hits object and there's no cost to iterating, so I doubt that's what you mean.
If your asking for a list of all the unique values for a particular field, see TermDocs and/or TermEnum which will allow you to look at, say, all the values stored for some field. A trick here is to seek (new Term("field", ""));. By putting nothing in the value, you effectively enumerate them all, something that I didn't find obvious. If neither of these are close to the mark, perhaps you could provide more detail. Best Erick On 11/21/06, Bhavin Pandya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
