Ok thank you.

I am conducting searches using the Java API. In this I am setting a search with parameters: requested = 10 and startAt = 0, 9, 19 etc depending on what page in the SERP the user is requesting. However I need to know how many documents were found with the search, e,g., 35,567 etc, so that I can tell the user this whilst they are searching. Is there a quick way of getting this without re-executing the query (which can take 3 - 10 seconds!!)? Is this info contained in the retrieval object after the...

Ok thank you.

I built a small index, with files trec format. I put doc id in the file, like so: <DOC> <DOCNO>2131464</DOCNO> <TITLE>CHOLESTEROL AND CHOLESTEROL ESTER CONTENT OF BOVINE COLOSTRUM</TITLE> <ABSTRACT> The total amount of cholesterol found in colostrum and milk is comparatively low. The amount of cholesterol found in colostrum declines at an ever decreasing rate as milk secretion develops until at 48 hours the cholesterol is nearly the same as that found in milk 3 months or 7 months after parturition....

Thank you for your responses. To be clear, I am constructing a drop wizard service which utilises Galago as the search engine. Each new request will occur on a new thread, however there is just one single Galago index file. I was just wondering if I will get file locks or other kinds of deadlocks when another thread is performing the search? I could of course copy the index file, but then I would have to marshall the requests to the files not in use....I'm not sure how I would do that, and I"m hoping...

Thank you.

What is the difference between the retrieval parameters: ResultCount and Requested? Thanks

I'm using Galago Java libraries to perform retrieval on a single index. Will this support concurrent retrieval? If not, are there any methods/examples you have that supports concurrent retrieval? Thank you.
