Hi, TF-IDF is just the default (and fast) scoring scheme. You can modify that (the "Similarity") as you want (since Lucene 4.0): http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_3_1/core/org/apache/lucene/search/similarities/package-summary.html
There are already various other ones available, like BM25. You have to set the "Similarity" on IndexWriter and IndexSearcher to use them.
