_Why_ should Rocket Banana (Single) come first? Essentially you have some ordering in mind and unless you can express it clearly you'll _never_ get "ideal" ranking. Really.
But your particular issue can probably be solved by adding a clause like OR "rocket banana"^5 And I suspect you haven't given us the entire query, or you're running through edismax or whatever. In future, please paste the result of adding &debug=all to the e-mail.
