Well, it all depends upon what you mean by problem. Lucene is not returning things in random order, it's returning things in relevance order. There is a lot of discussion about scoring both on the Wiki and in the mail archive if you want to affect the return order.
Alternatively, you can sort your results by providing the search with a Sort object, see the API documentation. But sort only works on UN_TOKENIZED, single-token fields so that may not be what you want. You can also use one of the HitCollectors and sort the results yourself if you so choose. You can also work with boosts on the search to, say, make matches in the title field count more when computing relevance than, say, text. You can also boost documents at *index* time if you can say that particular documents should tend toward the top of relevance searches. If you'd explain a bit more what you want to accomplish, perhaps folks can suggest more concrete actions. Why, for instance, is sorting by relevance not appropriate? Have you indexed everything in your example in just a big bag of words or have you indexed separate fields?
