Hi Erick, Do you mean name:foo -desc:foo?
If so, I think that won't work because that would exclude all docs that have "foo" in desc field, while we actually do want docs that match desc:foo, but only if they also match name:foo. Only if a doc matches *just* desc:foo should it be excluded from results.
