Change the second boost to 0.5 to de-boost doc that are missing the field
value. You had them the same.

OK it looks like the query change is working but it looks like it boosting
everything even documents that have that field empty....

Still doesnt appear to be working. Here is the full Query string:
defType=edismax&start=0&rows=**24&facet=true&qf=nameSuggest^**10 name^10
codeTXT^2 description^1 brand_search^0
cat_search^10&spellcheck=true&**spellcheck.collate=true&**
spellcheck.q=chairs&facet.**mincount=1&fl=code,score&q=**chairs
AND (regularprice:*^5 OR (*:* -regularprice:*)5)

Sorry, make that:

I forgot that pure negative queries are broken again, so you need the
*:*
in there.
I noticed that you second boost operator was missing as well.

OK i just tried:
&q=chairs AND (regularprice:*^5 OR (-regularprice:*)5)
And that gives me 0 results

So, if a doc has anything in the field, it gets boosted, and if the doc
does not have anything in the field, de-boost it. Choose the boost
factors
to suit your desired boosting effect.

Subject: Re: Boosting on field empty or not
OK maybe i need to describe this a little more.
Basically I want documents that have a given field populated to have a
higher score than the documents that dont. So if you search for foo I
want
documents that contain foo, but i want the documents that have field a
populated to have a higher score...
Is there a way to do this?

Is there a way to boost a document based on whether the field is empty
or
not. I am looking to boost documents that have a specific field
populated.
