Say you're trying to match terms A, B, C. Would something like (A AND B AND C)^1000 OR (A AND B)^100 OR (A AND C)^100 OR (B AND C)^100 OR A OR B OR C
work? It wouldn't be an absolute ordering, but it would tend to push the documents where all three terms matched toward the top. It would get really cumbersome if there were lots of terms, but.....
