Full text search - ordering results

We have just implimented the Lucence full text searching. The results don't seem to be ordered by matching score.

E.g. if I search for Will Smith in my sample data (using "Will* Smith*"), "Smith, Will" doesn't show up until item 20, behind "Wills, Samuel", "Willets, Todd" and "Williams, Sonny".

Is there any way to order by matching score? Ideally I would order by score and then date entered.

        var terms = SearchUtils.TermsToArray(searchTerms);
        IQueryable<AccClaim> results = null;

        if (this.CurrentUnitOfWorkScope().Current.Context.SearchEngine != null)
        {
            //if search engine exists, use it
            var queryString = string.Empty;
            for (var i = 0; i < terms.Count(); i++)
            {
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(queryString))
                    queryString += " ";
                queryString += string.Format("{0}*", terms.SafeGetItem(i));
            }

            Query query = new Query();
            query.SearchQuery = queryString;
            results = this.CurrentUnitOfWorkScope().Current.Find<AccClaim>(query).AsQueryable();
        }

The default sort order returned when a search query is scoping the results is by the score returned from the search query.

If you call:

var results = this.CurrentUnitOfWorkScope().Current.Search(queryString, typeof(AccClaim));

Then results will be a list of SearchResult which will include a Score property which will indicate the returned score from Lucene which should match the order you are seeing from the .Find() call.
