You're not reading the docs incorrectly, but some months ago I did some testing and came to the conclusion that pan's AND scoring (which should be single colon after the score keyword) is broken -- it's treating EVERYTHING as OR scoring (which should be double-colon). With that treated as an OR, indeed, that score will match nearly everything! =:^( All my normal scoring rules are double-colon/OR, so I can't be sure when it broke, but I do believe it worked at one point some years ago. But as zlynx already pointed out, as long as you're using incremental scoring (not =/absolute), it's reasonably easy to do what you want by configuring a second score with the narrower scope, to reverse the first. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
