Kevin,
You could try setting index-time field length-dependent boosts.
Another possibility may be your own sorting, that takes field length in consideration, but I'm not sure how well that would work.
Finally, you could use your own Similarity and implement your own http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/api/org/apache/lucene/search/Similarity.html#lengthNorm(java.lang.String,%20int)

I've noticed that Lucene does a very bad job at doing search ranking when text has just a few words in the body.
For example if you searched for the word "World" in the following two
paragraphs:
"Hello World"
and
"The World is often a dangerous place"
The first paragraph wuold probably match.
Is there a way I can tweak lucene to return richer content?
