it wouldn't be q.alt though, just q, in the config file.
q.alt is typically *:*, it's the fall back query when no q is provided.
though, in thinking about it, q.alt would work here, but i'd use q
personally.

Let me make sure I understand you.
I'd get my regular query from haystack as qq=foo rather than q=foo.
Then I put in solrconfig within the dismax section:
<str name="q.alt">
{!boost b=$popularityboost v=
$qq}&popularityboost=log(popularity)
</str>
Is that what you meant?

I meant can I do it with dismax without modifying every single

generated by haystack. I'd much rather not have to go under
haystack to modify the generated queries. Hence I'm trying to find
a way to boost every query by default.
If you can get haystack to pass through the user query as something
like qq, then yes - just use something like the last link I showed at
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrRelevancyFAQ#How_can_I_boost_the_score_of_newer_documents
and set defaults for everything except qq.

You can do it with dismax.... it's just that the syntax is slightly
more convoluted.
Check out the section on boosting newer documents:
