I did in the same way what you mentioned i mean "divide all scores by the
first score and multiply by 100"

Still I am not geeting exactly what I wanted.
I am searching for two words "asia cup" in the search
First three hits contains both words what i am searching for  but i got
percentages 100,69 and 33 respectively.

I am using

 String fields[] = new String[2];
 fields[0] = "title";
 fields[1] = "contents";
 Query q = MultiFieldQueryParser.parse(line,fields,analyzer);

 Hits hits = searcher.search(q);
 float sc = hits.score(i);

Thanks in advance
Raju

Lucene scores are not percentages.  They really only make sense compared 
to other scores for the same query.  If you like percentages, you can 
divide all scores by the first score and multiply by 100.
