Depending on how many of these certain queries you have, it seems like you could still use some variation of the strategy based on a bogus tag sort. If you place a dynamic field for each query term (e.g. foo_s, bar_s, etc) relevant to a document and then detect when one of the special query terms is detected, you can still sort on the appropriate dynamic field before applying the rest of the sort. kyle
