Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-7621:
--------------------------------------

Could this also work when the clauses are SynonymQueries?

> Per-document minShouldMatch

> I have seen similar requirements a couple times but could not find any 
> related issue so I am opening one now. The idea would be to allow passing a 
> {{LongValuesSource}} rather than an integer as the {{minShouldMatch}} 
> parameter of {{BooleanQuery}} so that the number of required clauses can 
> depend on the document that is being matched. In terms of implementation, it 
> looks like it would be straightforward as we would just have to update the 
> value of {{minShouldMatch}} in {{MinShouldMatchSumScorer.setDocAndFreq}} and 
> things would still be efficient, ie. we would still use advance on the costly 
> clauses.
> This kind of feature would allow to run queries that must match eg. 80% of 
> the terms that a document contains (by indexing the number of terms in a 
> separate field). It would also make it possible for Luwak or ES' percolator 
> to index boolean queries that have a value of {{minShouldMatch}} greater than 
> 1 more efficiently.
> I do not have any plans to work on it soon but I am curious how much interest 
> this feature would drive.
