Dear Matthias,

First you need to know about the Lucene's ranking concept.
Lucene's basic ranking is BM25 and it depends on your index status.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25)
There can be many reasons.
One of thing that I can guess is your index has a lot of 'rozi' term so it
is getting worthless.
It is called IDF(Inverse Document Frequency).
Anyway, if you want to be a micro controller, you need to understand the
BM25 expression.

And Lucene can tell you how your score came out.
Explanation can be used to get it.
I attach the sample code.
======================================
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader);
TopDocs docs = searcher.search(q, hitsPerPage);
ScoreDoc[] hits = docs.scoreDocs;

for (int i = 0; i < hits.length; ++i) {
  int docId = hits[i].doc;
  Explanation explanation = searcher.explain(q, docId);
  // You can see how the score is calculated
  System.out.println("Explanation : " + explanation.toString());
}
======================================

I hope it helps :D

Best regards,
Namgyu Kim

P.S. For BM25, the default value in Lucene is k1 = 1.2, b = 0.75.
