There is a default 1024 limit to number of items in a boolen query, but 
BooleanQuery.setMaxClauseCount allows you to increase this.

However, query response time is proportional to the doc frequency of a term.  And a 
boolean query is related to the sum of the subqueries.  So, even if you see on average 
50ms per single word, you might see well over 30 seconds for a 'full document' query 
(depending on document length and its content, of course).

If there is not, then it means i can pass a document as a query then get
the ranked similiar documents for it?

Thanks.
