Use a query with multiple clauses including a boosted PhraseQuery, or SpanNearQuery. I think the latter is the most flexible - see http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2009/07/18/the-spanquery/ for good info.
http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_3_0/queryparsersyntax.html tells you how to use boosting if you are using the query parser. -- Ian.
