That, in a nutshell, would be the problem. Maybe the discussion is over at this point. It could be I dumbed down the problem a bit too much for illustration purposes. I'm actually doing phrase query matches with slop. As such, the search phrase I'm interested in could easily be in more than one of the (unique) values, and the score for each value-match could be very different when considered alone. For document scoring purposes, I don't care that (for example) I got a sloppy match on one value if I got a nice phrase out of another value in the same document. In fact, I explicitly want to ignore the fact that there was also a sloppy match. I also don't care if the exact phrase occurred in more than one value, and I don't want the case where it does match more than one influencing that document's score.
