Hi all, A question about efficiency and the internal workings of the Hits class. When we make a call to IndexSearcher's search method thus:
Hits hits = searcher.Search(query); Do we actually, physically get back all the results of the query even if there are 20 million results or for efficiency do we physically get back the first few results and if we then go and use (traverse, display whatever) these hits then we physically get back more and more as and when we need them. It just seems that if we called the search method and millions of records came back that this would be highly inefficient. Also, if we do physically get back everything then is there a way of ensuring we only get back a few at a time?
