MSet::get_matches_estimated() :

This is an estimate - you can find out upper and lower bounds on the
value with MSet::get_matches_upper_bound() and
MSet::get_matches_lower_bound().

I assume you mean at search time when using the QueryParser, in which
case you want to call QueryParser::set_stemming_strategy() with
QueryParser::STEM_NONE.
