I think I have a decent first draft of a patch that implements this. Hopefully I'm figuring out the right way to submit patches to this community. I added a ticket here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2058 and attached my patch to that ticket. Any feedback, either on the patch or on how best to submit things to this community would be appreciated. This patch seems to happily turn a query like http://localhost:8983/solr/select?defType=edismax&fl=id,text,score&q=enterprise+search+foobar&ps=5&qf=text&debugQuery=true&pf2=name~0^5555&pf2=name^12+name~10 into what I believe is the desired parsed query: +((text:enterpris) (text:search) (text:foobar)) ((name:"enterprise search"~5^12.0) (name:"search foobar"~5^12.0)) ((name:"enterprise search"^5555.0) (name:"search foobar"^5555.0)) ((name:"enterprise search"~10) (name:"search foobar"~10)) which looks like it should give a high boost to docs where both words appear right next to each other, but still substantial boosts to docs where the pairs of words are a few words apart. I'll start testing it with real data today. One question: * Where might I find documentation and/or test cases for the pf2, pf3 parameters? I quick grep of the sources from the tree I got from git://git.apache.org/lucene-solr.git didn't reveal any obvious docs or tests with those parameters. $ git grep pf2 | grep -v 'Binary file' solr/src/java/org/apache/solr/search/ExtendedDismaxQParserPlugin.java: U.parseFieldBoostsAndSlop(solrParams.getParams("pf2")); Am I on the right track?
