Lucene will calculate you score based on a scoring formula. I am pretty sure that the location of the word is not part of this formula but rather how common the word is in your sentence. I.e multiple occurences of 'venue' should increase scoring and adding other words to your sentence should decrease the scoring.
Hope this helps, I am pretty sure there is detailed info about this in the lucene docs.
