: Subject: Stats for all documents and not current search

: I need to retrieve the stats of my index (using StatsComponent). It's not a
: problem when my query is empty, but the stats are update according the
: current search... and I need the stats of the whole index everytime.
: I'm currently doing two request (one with empty keyword to get the stats,
: one to get the results). Any idea which could save me one request?

You could write a custom request handler that did this ... but the amount 
of processing done on the server side would be exactly the same as if you 
made two requests, the only savings would be  in the HTTP connection -- 
so using something like HTTP Keep-Alive should perform just as well.

in any case: the stats for your whole index aren't going to change unles 
you update the index, if you keep them as separate requests, you can use 
HTTP caching to make the stats call essentailly free.
