I'm a little back logged on mail or i would have replied to your word count email earlier...
one thing to keep in mind is that the index doesn't deal in "words" it deals in "terms" -- the differnece being a term has "field" and a "token" -- what was discussed in the mail archives leading up to the creation of SOLR-106, SOLR-116 and SOLR-117 is that you can get the lists of frequently used "terms" per field doing a faceted search, and if you want to iterate through a lot the terms for a field you can now do so (SOLR-106) ... or you can restrict the terms not just by a field name, but also by a prefix (SOLR-117). what you can't do is get a list of the ocunts of all the times a *word* appears in your index -- to accomplish this you would need to have a single field that you copyField all of your other fields into, and then get the facet counts on it. note that do do a faceted search, you have to search on soemthing ... if you want the counts across your entire index, you can search on foo:[* TO *] where "foo" is the name of whatever field in your schema is your uniqueKey field. -Hoss
