If going from all category terms to matching doc ids is slow you could do it the other way going from matching doc ids to terms. You can feasibly do this by : a) IndexReader.document(hitDocId).get("category") or b) IndexReader.getTermFreqVector(hitDocId,"category").getTerms() Unfortunately a) reads ALL fields for a doc off the disk and is probably very slow. b) would be quicker but would require you to index with TermFreqVector support. I'm not sure if b) would be faster than the term to docids approach I originally suggested - you'd have to try it and see how it performs on your data.
