If someone searches for several words but doesn't use quotes, we should be able to boost results that have those words together as a phrase or in close proximity. Maybe as a configurable setting.

It can be implemented with an or-query combination of phrase queries and near queries as well as separate word queries, and ML has some built-in boosting support as well.
