You can use a TermEnum enumerator, accessed through an instance of IndexReader, to walk through the list of terms. There is an example of this on Page 198 in "Lucene in Action".

To do this, I'm going to need to get access to all terms stored in the Term Dictionary. How would I go about this? I've got the Manning Lucene book but couldn't find anything in there, although feel free to point me in the right direction if you know where help can be found. Cheers, Tim
