I have a index from which I have a number of documents from authors, but would like to drop the relevance/score for documents from one particular author using the query. That is for documents returned by querying: (content:"miracle cure"), I would like to reduce the relevancy of authorid:3024
However I tried several combinations and they didnt work the way I expected, e.g. +(content:"miracle cure") (authorid:3024^0.5) => increases authorid:3024 score instead +(content:"miracle cure") +(authorid:3024^0.5 ((-authorid:3024))^10.0) => The boosted optional prohibited term seems to have no effect +(content:"miracle cure") (-authorid:3024^0.5) => Again, the boosted optional prohibited term seems to have no effect Also this approach appears to add a small modifier to the overall relevancy returned by +(content:"miracle cure"). Is there a better way to do a multiplicative modification - so that for example the score as returned by +(content:"miracle cure") is reduced to 0.6 of its value if the authorid is 3024. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
