[lucy-user] Is there a way to know how many documents are indexed in a Lucy index?

["Desilets, Alain" <Al...@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca>]

I would like to know how many documents are stored in an index. Is there a way to do that?

I tried searching for the empty string and getting the total_hits() value, but a search for the empty string always returns an empty list of hits.

Thx. That did the trick.
