Hi all.

to close my thread:

My requirement was to build a simple scoring system that basically 
reuses Lucene's index infrastructure but not its advanced scoring 
system, i.e., I had to replace the query and scorer infrastructure with 
my own implementation.

In detail I had to come up with my own versions of:

    * ExamplesSearchQuery extends Query
    * ExamplesSearchWeight extends Weight
    * ExamplesScorer extends Scorer

The usage of this API looks similar to standard Lucene usage:

ExamplesSearchQuery query = LuceneQueryUtil.toCodeSearchQuery(request);
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(luceneIndexReader);
TopDocs search = searcher.search(query, 15);
...

To accomplish my scoring function, the scorer delegates to several 
subscorers similar to the BooleanScorer and sums up the sub-scores to 
build the final score.

Since yesterday, the first prototype based on Lucene is available for 
download and a blog-post showing the Eclipse integration in action is 
available here:

- and I would be glad to take your comments on the post :-)

Thanks again for your help on Lucene,
Marcel
