Hi Mike, As far as I know, 3.0 also has this method: http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_2/api/core/org/apache/lucene/index/IndexRe ader.html#getUniqueTermCount()
But it also only works on segment level, too! So you have to use getSequentialSubReaders/ReaderUtil.gatherSubReaders() and do it per segment. But to get the unique count for the whole index, there is no way around iterating every term, as duplicates must be removed (which TermEnum does).
