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.

Does infinity work? Can one write num_wanted => 9**9**9?
