Hi,

For the sake of simplicity, I have an index with docs containing the following fields:

Title
Description
Author

Some searches will obviously be saturated by docs from any given author if they've simply written more.

I'd like to give a negative boost to these matches, there-by making sure that 1 Author doesn't saturate the results just because they've written 500 documents, compared to others who may have only written 2-3 documents.

The actual author value doesn't matter, I just want to bring down the score of docs by any common author to give more varied results.

What's the easiest approach for this, and is it even possible at query time? I could do this at index time but would prefer a Solr solution.

Solr 3.4 using edismax handler

Thanks,
Rob
