It sounds to me like you want to use payloads (the same issue I had
recently):
http://old.nabble.com/Customizing-Field-Score-%28Multivalued-Field%29-tp26182254p26182254.html

That thread has some details on the eventual implementation I chose.  Let me
know if you have any questions.  Note that I did use the scoring as a boost,
not "completely overriding the default scoring", but I think the impact is
basically the same, as was satisfied it was good enough.
