By the silence, I gather that the answers to my questions are "no", "no" and "no".

For example, I may want to boost the relevance of a document that contains both "iraq" and "clerics", but not boost the relevance of documents that contain only one or the other terms. (The idea is better discrimination than if I simply boosted both terms.) 2) Is it possible to apply (or simulate) a negative query boost factor? For example, I may have a complex query with lots of terms but want to reduce the relevance of a matching document that also included the term "iowa". ( The idea is for an easier and more discriminating way than simply increasing the relevance of all other terms besides "iowa"). 3) Is there a way to handle variants of a phrase without OR'ing together the variants? For example, I may want to find documents dealing with North Korea; the terms might be "north korea" or "north korean" or "north koreans" - is there a way to handle this with a single term using wildcards?
