Need help in tuning score query using wildcards

Hello ,
We have a requirement wherein we have to make a contains search on 3 fields "ITEM_NUMBER" , "DESCRIPTION" and "MAJOR_FAMILY_NAME" .
Search should always return 100 records where searching preference is like

  1. ITEM_NUMBER 2.DESCRIPTION 3. MAJOR_FAMILY_NAME
    We need records to be sorted based on the match .
    That means records with a matching ITEM_NUMBER should be at top .

We are using Custom score query for it as below .
Query takes almost 4-5 seconds and is very slow .
Index size is close to 34 million records and each record has 40 fields .

We seek expert suggestions on tuning this query .
Appreciate any inputs on performance improvement
