The idea is to efficiently get the desired result set (top N) at once
without having to re-run different queries inside the application
logic. Query relaxation avoids having several round trips and possibly
could be offered with and without deduplication. Maybe this is a
feature required for Solr rather than for Lucene.

Question: Even if lucene's score is not absolute does it somewhat
determine an partial order among results of different queries?

Not that I know of.  One typically puts that in application logic and re-runs or offers 
to run alternative queries.  No de-duping there, unless you do it in your app.  I think 
one problem with the described approach and Lucene would be that Lucene's scores are not 
"absolute".

Subject: Progressive Query Relaxation

Has anyone within the Lucene or Solr community attempted to code a
progressive query relaxation technique similar to the one described
here for Oracle Text?
