Karthick,
I mean perform both query1 and query2 simultaneously, something like
query1: (superpower:flight OR name:batman)
query2: (superpower:speed AND name:flash)
Could be transformed to:
(superpower:flight^2 OR name:batman^2) OR (superpower:speed AND name:flash)
This would give you all results from query1 and query2 but results
matching query1 (at least parts of it) would be scored higher than
results from query2.
I don't know if it would be possible to do something like:
(query1)^N OR (query2)^(N-1) OR .. OR (queryN-1)^2 OR (queryN) but
that might be a general solution to your problem.
