Amazing timing! - just as I was working at 697 trying to un-cancel the checking skipTo... This suggestion would help in 697 of course, but I think it also makes sense in general. Could I modify it a little - to something more general than "use scorer number J" - perhaps something like: void allowDocsOutOfOrer(boolean allow); boolean isAllowedDocsOutOfOrder(); Also, it would be nice to make this a (non static) method of Query, and, I think, also of Weight and Scorer (Weight would "like-inherit" that property from its Query, and Scorer from its Weight). The default would be "disallowed", and the documentation would say that allowing may enable further optimization, though in some cases (like currently non boolean scorers or ones with more than 32 prohibited sub scorers) this might have no effect at all.
