Thanks for all the responses, guys. I'll analyze them and post my
results if any. Doug's suggestion was closest to what I tentatively felt
it could look like. I'll see if I can make it work.

I have a very technical question. I need to alter document score (or in
fact: document boosts) for an existing index, but for each query. In
other words, I'd like these to have pseudo-queries of the form:
1. civil war PREFER:shorter
2. civil war PREFER:longer
for these two
Field length isn't stored... It gets folded into the norm (see
Similarity.lengthNorm) along with the boost and indexing time.
A couple of approaches:
a) index the field twice with two different Similarity implementations
b) store term vectors, derive the length from them and store in the
FieldCach
While you're indexing, you can assign each doc with a field that refers to
how long the document is. So, for example, you can add a field named
"docLength" for each document, and assign it with discrete values such as
"veryshort", "short", "medium", "long", "verylong", depending on how
granular you
