Let's try again ;)
If I understand you correctly, you want the returned results to include
all documents matching some query, also documents that not satisfy the
specified range ("like 20 to 30"), but results that satisfy this range
should appear higher in the list.
If so, first you have to find out how you can build a range query.
Enough documentation on that. This results in a RangeQuery, let's call
it R.
I assume that the user can enter its search query (words) in another
field. For this you create another query (for example by using the
QueryParser), let's call this one Q.
Now you have 2 queries (Q and R) which needs to be combined in a Boolean
query, so you get a boolean query: Q OR R
This can be done by specifying Q as boolean 'should' clause and R as
boolean 'should' clause. The BooleanQuery is the one to be used, and
documents matching the entered range will appear higher, because it
matches both clauses, and docs matching Q, but are outside that range
only match the first clause.
