Hello, This seams to be a similar solution like:
Term t = new Term(fieldname, term); int count = searcher.docFreq(t); The problem is, that in this situation it is not possible to apply a filter object. If I don't wanna use this filter object, I would have to use a complex search query, wich is - again - very slow. So, unfortunatelly, your solution does not help.
