I strongly recommend against this. Simple word counts are a poor measure of relevance. Which is why Lucene doesn't score that way. Do you have an example showing why the default scoring is inadequate or is this just an assumption?
It would be helpful if you gave us some idea of what you're trying to accomplish. What is the use-case you're trying to solve? That would generate more helpful responses I think....
