Give this a thought - You can try multi-field sort with first sort being on the score (so that all the more relevant results ones appear first), and second being a sort on the random field (which shuffles the order of results with the same score). In Solr, you can do multi-field sorting like this - sort=<field name>+<direction>[,<field name>+<direction>]...
