Please find attached the paper on "Efficient Query Evaluation using a
Two-Level Retrieval Process". I believe that such approach may improve
the
way Lucene/Solr evaluates queries today.

The functionality of WAND (weak AND) is already implemented in Lucene, if I understand it correctly - this is the BooleanQuery.setMinShouldMatch(int). Lucene implements this probably differently from the algorithm described in the paper, so there may be still some benefits from comparing the algorithms in Lucene's BooleanScorer[2] with this one ...
