If you build the query yourself, you can set the wqf (within query
frequency) of each term in the query - it's an optional parameter to
the Query constructor which takes a term name.

Or you can do the work at index time by specifying a larger wdf
increment for terms from certain fields when calling
Document::add_posting() (or Document::add_term()).
