Grant, Thanks for pointing me at the DisjunctionMaxQuery, though you're correct, this is close but not exactly what I want.
I think the difference lies in that it's not which subexpression had the greater score, but that a normally lower scoring document should get its rank elevated because it appears in the results of different subexpressions. Suppose I have three queries and in each case I got the same document back with a result of 0.000001. While in the context of any given query, the document in totally insignificant. However, for my use case, because it showed up in all three queries, this has substantial meaning to me, and it now becomes the most important document. I'd ideally like to have the union of all the query results returned, but with my document ranked at the top. I'm getting this sinking feeling of post-processing a returned Hits list. -Walt Stoneburner, http://www.wwco.com/~wls/blog --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
