What do you mean by "first"? Would you want to process a doc thatdid NOT have a "Term 3"?
Let's say you have the following: doc1: "Term 1" doc2: "Term 2" doc3: "Term 1" "Term 2" doc4: "Term 3" doc5: "Term 1" "Term 2" "Term 3" doc6: "Term 2" "Term 3" Which docs do you want to get from your search? And does order really matter?
