Description

It'd be wonderful if I could use the "commonness" of one term, say the contents of a document, to power a search across both the document and its title. Continuing the metaphor, I'd like be able to build a query like this:
"the first"
that is rewritten into:
(title:the OR body:the) +(title:first OR body:first)
with the help of the CommonTermsQuery logic. Essentially, I'd like CommonTermsQuery to soften the implicit AND for "the" into and OR because it is common.
