My index has a category field and I would like to apply a negative boost to
certain categories. For example, if I search for "thinkpad", it should push
results for the laptop bag and other accessory categories to the bottom.
So, I first tried altering the bq field with category:(batteries bags
cables)^0.3.
In fact, this seems to positively boost products in those categories. This
actually makes sense because the parsedQuery is something like:
+DisjunctionMaxQuery((category:thinkpad^1.75 | description:thinkpad^1.3 |
manufacturer:thinkpad^1.6)~1.1) DisjunctionMaxQuery((category:thinkpad^1.75 |
description:thinkpad^1.3 | manufacturer:thinkpad^1.6)~1.1) ((category:batteries
category:bags category:cables)^0.3)
So, since only the negatively boosted categories are in the query, those
categories make their way to the top when they are matched.
Is the only way to make this work to postively boost certain categories?
