Without details or some prototype code the community can't really help
evaluate the design.  That's something that you'll want to happen to
improve the chances of having your work included in main-line
Evergreen.

Also, as Thomas mentioned, there is ongoing search improvement being
both discussed and developed collaboratively, mostly in the IRC
channel.  Some of Thomas' might impact yours, and there is higher
level QueryParser work happening that might also either impact or
inform your design.

Jumping in IRC and discussing (and pointing to any code you might be
experimenting with) might make things easier.
