That's a good idea. I prefer the second variant. Two comments: 1. To stay in line with the rest of the API "documentKey" should probably be "documentID" (because of "getID()" etc.). 2. I'd drop the "count" attribute or make it optional/informational. It may prevent the on-the-fly creation of this results XML (ideal for getContentAsSAX). "count" can always be calculated using XPath.
