Could you share your actual numbers and test case? IOW, the document score without ^0.01 and with ^0.01.
Again, to repeat, the specific boost factor may be positive, but the effect of a fractional boost is to reduce, not add, to the score, so that a score of 0.5 boosted by 0.1 would become 0.05. IOW, it de-boosts occurrences of the term. The point remains that you do not need a "negative boost" to de-boost a term. -- Jack Krupansky On Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 4:01 AM, Emir Arnautovic < emir.arnauto...@sematext.com> wrote: > Hi Jack, > I just checked on 5.5 and 0.1 is positive boost. > > Regards, > Emir > > > On 26.02.2016 01:11, Jack Krupansky wrote: > >> 0.1 is a fractional boost - all intra-query boosts are multiplicative, not >> additive, so term^0.1 reduces the term by 90%. >> >> -- Jack Krupansky >> >> On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 11:29 AM, shamik <sham...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Binoy, 0.1 is still a positive boost.
