Negative boosts?  Try 0.0 to 0.99 for the negative effect.

The practical use is a field containing a lot of descriptive text  
and then a product name field where products might be named after a  
descriptive word. Consider an electric toothbrush called "The Fast  
And Thorough Toothbrush" -- if a user searches for fast toothbrush  
I'd like to down-weight that particular model's advantage. The name  
of the product might also be in the descriptive text.


I tried

 
-name description
 

but solr didn't like that.

Any better ideas?

i have a dismax query where I want to boost appearance of the query  
terms in certain fields but "downboost" appearance in others.


The practical use is a field containing a lot of descriptive text and  
then a product name field where products might be named after a  
descriptive word. Consider an electric toothbrush called "The Fast  
And Thorough Toothbrush" -- if a user searches for fast toothbrush  
I'd like to down-weight that particular model's advantage. The name  
of the product might also be in the descriptive text.
