We are currently a Lucene shop, the way we do it (currently) is to have
these results come from a database table (where it is available in rank
order). We want to move to Solr, so what I plan on doing to replicate
this functionality is to write a custom request handler that will do the
database query and put the results on the top of the search results
before the SolrIndexSearcher is invoked.
