Additionaly, some words like(street, park, area etc.) can be defined as stop-words.

I'd suggest checking out the results using the Searchable.Explain() method to see how the scores are being calculated.

Let's say I have a document called "Bradford Street Play Area" (because I do!), and I want a search for Bradford Street Park to work. First, in general, I do an "all terms" search. That fails, so I do an OR search. Problem is a HUGE number of documents have Street in them. I don't mind that they match so much as that I'd like to have the term frequency in the corpus influence the scoring. Is there a Scorer or query-boosting trick to accomplish this? Thanks --Max
