Thanks Erik.

An <additional-query> element is allowed inside the <state> element, but 
I think that translates to an and-query. Is there a way to get an 
or-query in there? In pseudo-code:

<operator name="sort">
    <state name="relevance">
      <sort-order><score/></sort-order>
      <or-query>{myfn:something_in_query_string_is_inside_my:title}</or-query>
    </state>
</operator>

(I can do a quick and dirty tokenize of the query string to avoid 
parsing it first.)

What I'd like is a way in search:search options to make docs with query 
terms inside the <my:title> element rank higher than docs with query 
terms elsewhere.

Best,

Tim Finney
