Hello, I have a solr index running that is working very well as a search.
 But I want to add the ability (if possible) to use it to do matching.  The
problem is that by default it is only looking for all the input terms to be
present, and it doesn't give me any indication as to how many terms in the
target field were not specified by the input.

For example, if I'm trying to match to the song title "dust in the wind",
I'm correctly getting a match if the input query is "dust in wind".  But I
don't want to get a match if the input is just "dust".  Although as a
search "dust" should return this result, I'm looking for some way to filter
this out based on some indication that the input isn't close enough to the
output.  Perhaps if I could get information that that the number of input
terms is much less than the number of terms in the field.  Or something
else along those line?

I realize that this isn't the typical use case for a search, but I'm just
looking for some suggestions as to how I could improve the above example a
bit.

Thanks,
Chris
