I have an application which currently uses a boolean query. The query could have a large number of boolean terms. I know that the TermsQuery doesn't have the same limitations as the boolean query. However I need to maintain the order of the original terms.
The query terms from the boolean query are actually values returned by a chemical structure search, which are returned in order of their relevancy in the structure search. I maintain the order by giving them a boost which is a function of the relevancy from the structure search. structure_id:(12345^800 OR 12356^750 OR abcde^600 ... This approach gives me the results in the order I need them in. I'd love to use the TermsQuery instead as it doesn't have the same limitations. Can I boost the Terms in the terms query? Is there a way to order the results? e.g. would the results be returned in the same order I specified the terms?
