Sorry for the quick reply, but yes you can accomplish this by tweaking a custom Similarity implementation (or DefaultSimilarity subclass). Check out IndexSearcher.explain on a query and a document and then tinker.

Lucene seems to prefer matches in shorter documents. Is it possible to influence the scoring mechanism to have matches in shorter fields score higher instead?

For example, a query for "europe" should rank:

1. title:"Europe"
2. title:"History of Europe"
3. title:"Travel in Europe, Middle East and Africa"
4. subtitle:"Fairy Tales from Europe"
