It is very very likely that I am just quite late and I'm tired ...but I think
the approach of having one document per forum message would allow you to
implement what you want... and, otoh, not too sure the multivalued field would
work as well.
ie, store the link to the start of the thread and thread subject in all docs,
as well as store link to post and text of post (and thread id, etc, as
needed). boost the content of the posting over the subject.
(but I have a feeling this may not be what you have in mind when you say
"grouping of threads based on relevancy" .. is it? )
