Combination of BooleanQuery and PhraseQuery

Hi,
Is there any query similar to BooleanQuery with SHOULD semantics that prefer
documents where the terms are close to each other?
I currently use a PhraseQuery with large slop for this. However this only
works if all the terms are in the document.
 
Best regards,

Try combining into multiple clauses… (with q.op=OR)

   “some phrase”~9999  OR (some phrase) 

That would boost docs with with proximity, but still allow matches for docs that don’t contain all terms.
