If you need to do an inner purely negative clause, it must be OR’d with *:* -
queries about matching not excluding. There’s a shortcut in Solr to allow a
top-level purely negative clause as convenience but when it gets nested it
needs pairing explicitly.
Those queries below don’t quite do what you’re asking for though.
