Lucene already does this with it's relevancy ranking. By definition, it calculates a score for each document and ranks them in order of the score. This is NOT a simple "is the word in the document or not".... You can read about the scoring algorithm here: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_1_0/scoring.html If this is way off base, can you give us some details of why the current ranking doesn't fit your needs?
