I think it's pretty straighforward: the 'custom search engine' is essentially the 'filter' that can also modify score weights of found documents. I'd say 'coop engine' + 'your query' should be relatively easily reducted into your 'your extended query', once you subsitute 'coop engine' with 'query parameters' you set for that engine. The only thing that remains in the 'scorer' part of the coop engine, but that seems relatively straightforward as well..... Or I'm missing some crucial part altogether :).

That's a lot of 'eaches', and it doesn't seem scalable. Does anyone have any idea (even on a theoretical level) how Google would be doing this and whether this kind of thing would be possible in Lucene?
