Score order in search results

I'm building a site and getting some odd search results.

For example, searching against the term 'Gibraltar' returns an entry with four mentions of the term in it's content first, whilst an entry with 'Gibraltar' in the title and 10 instances in the body is returned second.

I am returning the results paginated, ie:

{% paginate craft.entries.search( '*' ~ query ~ '*' ).limit(10).order('score') as entries %}

Any thoughts why this might be happening? I came across this issue reported last year at Search order "Score" criteria - seems to be the same issue.

Of the top of my head: shouldn't it be .order('score DESC'), because you want the highest score first? – Paul Nov 16 '15 at 15:52
Hmm, according to the docs, it shouldn't :) – Paul Nov 16 '15 at 15:53
Thanks @PaulVerheul - had tried that but throws an error – Cole Henley Nov 17 '15 at 13:04
