As best as I can see, Solr can't quite do this, at least without
enhancement.

There's two parts to how Solr works - boolean querying, in which a
document either matches, or doesn't. The first part is to work out how
to select the documents you are interested in.

The second part is scoring, which involves calculating a score for all
of the documents that have got through the previous round.

It seems the boolean portion could be achieved using
minimum-should-match=100%. That is, all terms must be there. 

You can almost do the scoring portion by sorting on function queries, by
sorting on sum(termfreq(text, 'word1'), termfreq(text, 'word2')) etc -
that'd give you the number of times your query terms appear in the
field, but the issue is there's no way to record the number of terms in
a particular field.

Perhaps you could pre-tokenise the field before indexing it, and store
the number of terms in your index. Then, your score would be the sum of
the termfreq(text, '<yourterms>') values, divided by the total number of
terms in the document.

Almost there, but the last leg is not quite.

I don't know whether it is possible to write a fieldlength(text)
function that returns the number of terms in the field.
