Yes, it is easily doable through "Payload" facility. During indexing process (mainly tokenization), you need to push this extra information in each token. And then you can use BoostingTermQuery for using Payload value to include Payload in the score. You also need to implement Similarity for this (mainly scorePayload method).
Other way can be to extend SpanTermQuery, this already calculates the position of match. You just need to do something to use this position value in the score calculation. One possible advantage of SpanTermQuery approach is that you can play around, without re-creating indices everytime. Thanks, Shailendra Sharma, CTO, Ver se' Innovation Pvt. Ltd.
