If all you have indexed are three identical terms there will be no way to make Markus come top.
You could index the normalized version and the original (with maybe StandardAnalyzer to get downcasing etc) and do a search across both fields, boosting whichever makes sense for you. normalized:Markus original:Markus^2 You could use PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper to specify different analyzers for different fields. Another idea might be to change your normalization analyzer to output the original as well as the normalized version. Sort of like synonyms. So, if the normalized version of all three was "marcus" you'd end up with indexed terms like marcus marcus marcus markus marcus mharcus and at search time "Markus" would expand to "marcus markus" and the second doc would come top. -- Ian.
