Hi Guys
Apologies.......... I am Still Confused.. ;( Let me make it more simple Question On using Search from a Index without any SearchWord, I would like to count the total number of Documents present in it. [ I Only have the Field Types 'Field.Keyword' which stores the Unique filename ] Will IndexReader.termDocs(term) give me the Count for the same. If so How To use it....... Please Thx in advance.

IndexReader.numDocs() will give the number of docs in an index. Lucene has no direct support for unique fields. After merging, if the same unique field value occurs in both source indexes, the merged index will contain two documents with that value. In case one wants to merge into unique field values, the non unique values in one of the source indexes need to be deleted before merging. See IndexReader.termDocs(term) on how to get the document numbers for (unique) terms via a TermDocs, and IndexReader.delete(docNum) for deleting docs.
