Calling .ToList() on an entire Lucene result set is not feasible from a performance perspective when there are thousands of potential results getting returned. However, getting the total number of results may be required on a professional search page for instance. "Total Results = 1,334" when only 10 bios are displayed at a time is a common use case, and calling .ToList() to get the total number of results is not optimal. ".GetResults()" (under the Sitecore.ContentSearch.Linq namespace) allows you to retrieve both the filtered results and the total number of results without serializing the entire result set.
