Q: 

How reliable is Lucene when counting hits/documents?

If a run a search: "+house +car" and returns 5,343,562 hits

Is that the exact number of documents I have, or it's an approximation.

If it's an approximation, is there a way to make it to return the extract number of documents that qualifies for a search query?

A: 

It's exact. What makes you think it's an approximation?
