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.
