You can do this with the new SpanQuery family in v1.4. The example you
gave would consist of a SpanTermQuery for "very", "good", and
"sometimes", with the first two combined with a SpanNearQuery (with no
slop, in order), and finally the "very good" SpanNearQuery combined
with another SpanNearQuery with the "sometimes" SpanTermQuery. *whew*
:)
There is no QueryParser support (yet) for such constructs, so doing
this with the API directly is necessary. There has been a contribution
of a new parser that can work with SpanQuery which probably should be
put in the sandbox soon.
