That's what I thought of as workaround for the first pages. But at some point the user might want to see the last page of the results, so eventually I will have to call TopDocs topDocs = indexSearcher.search(query, null, 300500, sort); and still run into an error. Right now I'd present the user with an error message like "The search returned too many results, please further restrict your search" but a more generic solution would sound a lot better ;) Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
