Using the Lucene API is there any way when executing a search via IndexSearcher when the hits are returned to specify how many results to return per the search? Say there are 1000 documents that match the query I only want to return the first 100. Does Lucene support this in some way? So that I dont have to build my own caching mechanism. thanks, Tom. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Bring photos to life! New PhotoMail makes sharing a breeze.
