So if I want to configure Solr to turn every query q=foo into q={!boost
b=log(popularity)}foo, dismax wouldn't work but edismax would?
If that's the case, can you tell me how to set up/use edismax? I can't find
much documentation on it. Is it recommended for production use?

bf adds in the function query
{!boost} multiples the function query
In the new edismax (which may replace dismax soon) you can specify the
multiplicative boost via
&boost=log(popularity)
