if you need the number of docs in which a given term appears you can use the method docfreq http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.html#docFreq(org.apache.lucene.index.Term)
otherwise you can use http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexReader.html#termDocs(org.apache.lucene.index.Term) to count the total number of occurences using the TermDocs object ----- Original Message ----- From: "ABDOU Samir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lucene Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 2:25 PM Subject: RE: Term Collection Frequency?
