Sorry, make that:
&q=chairs AND (regularprice:*^5 OR (*:* -regularprice:*)^0.5)
I forgot that pure negative queries are broken again, so you need the *:* in
there.
I noticed that you second boost operator was missing as well.

OK i just tried:
&q=chairs AND (regularprice:*^5 OR (-regularprice:*)5)
And that gives me 0 results

So, if a doc has anything in the field, it gets boosted, and if the doc
does not have anything in the field, de-boost it. Choose the boost factors
to suit your desired boosting effect.

Subject: Re: Boosting on field empty or not
OK maybe i need to describe this a little more.
Basically I want documents that have a given field populated to have a
higher score than the documents that dont. So if you search for foo I
want
documents that contain foo, but i want the documents that have field a
populated to have a higher score...
Is there a way to do this?

Is there a way to boost a document based on whether the field is empty or
not. I am looking to boost documents that have a specific field
populated.
