Alternative scoring of BooleanQuery

Hi all,

sorry if this is FAQ or has been answered in the list earlier, but unfortunately
I did not find a decent way to search in the archive (maybe a job for Lucene ;-) )

For some reason, I had to split my document into multiple fields. For the
search, I create a query with two subqueries for the same term within each
field, combining it via a BooleanQuery/Occur.SHOULD. If a term happens to appear
in both fields, the score is added (and scaled, if disableCoord is false). In my
context this is not really what I want. I would prefer to have a simple
"maximum" function over the scores of the subqueries. Since I do not consider
myself an expert in the internal working of Lucene, is there an easy way to
achieve this or do I have to reimplement the whole BooleanQuery class?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,
Klaus
