   my $hits = $searcher->search(
     query      => $query,
     num_wanted => $searcher->max_doc,
   );

Two notes:

First, we need to make a documentation change.  Searcher->max_doc  
should be made public -- or rather, Searchable should be made public  
along with Searchable->max_doc, and the Searcher docs should indicate  
the inheritance chain.

Second, the code above is potentially expensive for large indexes, as  
it creates a HitQueue with room for max_doc() elements.
