Haha, I even used the word "seminal". X-D A lot has changed since 2006 -- we now have ProximityQuery, a subclassable QueryParser, and expanded tutorial and cookbook documentation.

There are many approaches and many techniques... but since Peter contributed ProximityQuery, I think that's become the easiest one to explore -- especially since Moritz will be able to rapid-prototype a custom QueryParser in the language where he is most comfortable.
