Ah. KinoSearch's implementation inadvertently differs: lengthNorm takes only the number of tokens. It didn't occur to me that the problem had been solved that way. A while ago, I changed lengthNorm to use either the number of tokens or 100, whichever was greater. That had the intended effect, which was to downgrade the type of "stub" documents Lucene tends to boost. However, it had the undesirable effect of no longer boosting exact title matches. The answer is to use Lucene's default lengthNorm for title and the modified lengthNorm for bodytext. Wasn't sure how to do that in Lucene; now I know.
