Re: Demoting results

[Doug Cutting]

Have you tried assigning these very small boosts (0 < boost < 1) and 
assigning other query clauses relatively large boosts (boost > 1)?

Is there any way to build a query where the occurrence of a particular

interesting than others, so I want them to be pushed towards the bottom
of the results ranking.  However, I do not want to eliminate them
entirely, so I can't use a boolean not.
Using negative weights would seem logical here, but apparently has no
effect on rankings - negative weights appear to be treated as zeros.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Boris
