Thanks Hoss. I've updated the Wiki, the content of the bq param was wrong:

: bq=(*:* -field_a:54^1)
I think what you want there is bq=(*:* -field_a:54)^1
...you are "boosting" things that don't match "field_a:54"
adding a boost value "^1" to a negated clause doesn't do much (except
maybe make hte queryNorm really wacky)

I forgot to say I tried what you say aswell but didn't work.

In the standard query parser, this means "remove all entries in which
field_a = 54".

Generally speaking, by convention boosts in Lucene have unity at 1.0,
not 0.0. So, a "negative boost" is usually done with boosts between 0
and 1. For this case, maybe a boost of 0.1 is
