Hi,

As a starter, you might find http://www.lucidimagination.com/Community/Hear-from-the-Experts/Articles/Debugging-Relevance-Issues-Search 
  useful.

The key thing to do first is use Lucene's built in explain method to  
see why any particular document scores the way it does, then work from  
there.
