Add &debugQuery=true to your query and check how the home page is scored.
That should give you a clue why the title is not boosting the score enough.
Maybe you simply need a higher boost for title, but let the debugQuery
scoring be your guide.
Actually, if you are explicitly referencing a field in your query
("title:abc"), that won't pick up the title boost from the "qf" field list.
You would need an explicit boost in the query itself.
But, I'm not sure I understand how your query gets expanded:
q=title:'.$keywords.'
Maybe you wanted: q=title:(.$keywords.), because otherwise spaces between
the keywords would end the first "fielded term" and then proceed to
reference the dismax field list (qf).

Subject: How can I remove the home page priority of site home page from
search results
My query is like this:
?q=title:'.$keywords.'&defType=edismax&qf=title^10 url^9
content^5&start=0&rows=10&version=2.2&indent=on&hl=true&hl.fl=content&hl.fragsize=300
My results show site home page as the first result even though there are
other pages with title scoring more for the given keywords.
I need to give less priority to site home page than other pages. Please
help.
Thanks
Shameema
