In case you only want the coordination factor to have more influence
in the order of your search results you can use a Similarity with
a coord() function that has a power higher than 1:
public float coord(int overlap, int maxOverlap) {
return (float) Math.pow((overlap / (float)maxOverlap), SOME_POWER);
}
I'd first try values between 3.0f and 5.0f for SOME_POWER.
The searching code precomputes all coord values once per query
per search, so there is no need to worry about the computing efficiency.
This has the advantage that the other scoring factors are still used
for ranking.
Since the other factors can vary quite a bit, it is difficult to guarantee
that any coord() implementation will provide a score that sorts by the
number of matching clauses. Higher powers as above can come
a long way, though.
