I've used FTSearch for this technique in the past. The performance is pretty rapid, but you do need to bear in mind that the FT index may not be up-to-date and may need to amend server document settings for the maximum number of documents returned by an FT search.

Regarding keeping the FT index up to date: have a look at this sample app from Tommy Valand (http://dontpanic82.blogspot.com/2011/01/xpages-small-update-to-search-interface.html) and in particular the function in it that checks if the FT index needs to be updated.

Thank you all! I used the FTsearch method and it works great (and fast!).
