This might help you understand Lucene scoring better... http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_1/scoring.html
The number of occurrences is not the sole determinant of a document's score and boosting won't change that. But I have to ask why counting words is important to you. What problem are you trying to solve that requires that a document with a word occurring, say, 5 times in 10,000 tokens should rank higher than a document where that word occurs twice in 10 tokens?
