Hey Guys,

I need to know how I can use the HitCollector class ? I am using Hits and
looping over all the possible document hits (turns out its 92 times I am
looping; for 300 searches, its 300*92 !!). Can I avoid this using
HitCollector ? I can't seem to understand how its used.

thanks a lot,

Askar
