Ferret talk - May 2007 - index#term_docs returns no docs / term_docs_for does

I''m building my first Filter and I''m running into an issue
with
Ferret::Index::IndexReader#term_docs.

As I understand it, index_reader.term_docs should return a
term-document enumerator for the entire index:

index_reader.term_docs => empty set

However, I''m getting an empty set. Interestingly enough, the following:

index_reader.term_docs_for(:name, ''coffee'') => lots of
documents

Is returning plenty of documents.

I''m expecting #term_docs to return an enumerator that allows me to
step through the entire index - any ideas on what I''m doing wrong?

I''m using acts_as_ferret and I''m on version 0.10.13 of the gem
on OSX.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Derek
