> Negative query boosts have been supported at the "Query" object level for a long time (resulting in negative scores for matching documents), but evidently we never updated the QueryParsers to know about this - attempting to specify a negative boost in the query string results in a parse error.
> we should probably add this to the parser grammer(s)
