How to count number of entries

[Dr. Lothar Simon]

I want to write a function countIndexEntries(key) to find out how many
entries are there in the index database for a key. I read the faq entry
about counting number of hits, but somehow it doesnt work as expected,
please help:

I create entries with
                indexDocument.add(Field.Keyword(FULLTEXT_KEY_FIELD,key));
                indexDocument.add(Field.Text(FULLTEXT_CONTENTS_FIELD,reader));
                indexwriter.addDocument(indexDocument);

I try to count the number of entries for a key with
                Query query = QueryParser.parse(key, FULLTEXT_KEY_FIELD, analyzer);
                count = searcher.search(query).length();

to find out if something is not yet indexed (count=0), already indexed
(count=1), or index is inconsistent (count=2). But count is always = 0 :-(

What is wrong or how to acchieve my goal with a different approach? Help is
appreciated.

Lothar
