You can use the low level scoring API, which simply enumerates all boolean hits. It also gives you the score, but you can just ignore that if you want. http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Searcher.html Use the search() method with a HitCollector, and provide you own HitCollector. When you do this avoid retrieving documents during the search, retrieve docs afterwards. Retrieving docs during search would cause unwanted disk head seeks from the terms index to the stored fields and back. It is also preferable to retrieve docs in the order that you collect them, ie. independent of the score. Even so, retrieving documents normally takes more time than collecting them.
