RE: Forced Top Document

Took the words right out my mouth! That second method would
be
particularly effective but will only work if you can
identify these docs
at index time.

This method Charlie suggested will work just fine with a
minor tweak.
For relevancy sorting

?q=foo OR (foo AND id:bar)

For nonrelevancy sorting, all you need is a multilevel sort.
Just add
a bogus field that only the important document contains.
Then sort by
bogus field in descending order before any other sorting
criteria are
applied.

Either way, the document only appears when it matches the
search
criteria, and it will always be on top.
