serach the archives for "faceted searching" and "category counts" and you
should find lots of discussions on this topic.

:
: 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
