So, you're tokenizing the title field? If so, I don't understand how you expect this to work. Would the title "this is one order" and "is one order this" be considered identical? Would capitalization matter? Punctuation? Throwing all the terms of a title into a tokenized field and expecting some magic to keep duplicates is beyond the scope of Lucene, you'll have to roll some customized solution.
For instance, index your title UN_TOKENIZED in a duplicate field (after applying whatever massaging you want re: punctuation, spaces, etc.). Use TermDocs/TermEnum on that field to detect duplicates. You won't search on this field.... Or create a hash of the title and index *that* in a separate field and check against the hash with termenum/terndocs. Or..... But no, there's no magic that makes Lucene DWIM (Do What I Mean)...
