Description

When the Word-Break Spellchecker breaks a term into more than once, currently the results are ordered first by the number of breaks, then by the maximum frequency of the new terms. But in many cases, it seems better to sort secondarily on the minimum frequency.

See this thread from the users' list: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/alternativeTermCount-and-WordBreakSolrSpellChecker-combination-not-working-tp4185352p4185489.html

As a follow-on, we should expose this new configuration detail for solr users, possibly making it the default.
