Hi, The FAQ answer on this one is
17. How can I restrict the number of hits ? As far as we know, there is no way at this time (Lucene 1.0, May 2001) to instruct Lucene to collect only a specified number of hits. However, when you get the hit list back from the search method, you can ignore the ones you don't need. It doesn't seem to be a problem to have many hits because internally only the first 200 (I think that's the right number), are kept in an active stack to start. It will grab more if necessary. Also, Lucene is optimized to not get the Hit information from the index until it is required. Why are you trying to restrict the total hits? --Peter On 5/10/02 10:42 AM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > there any way to restrict the number of hits returned by a query? > I would like to have the functionality of getting only the X last > documents which respect to a given query condition.
