Query: boosting query

[kimchy]

The boosting class can be used to effectively demote results that match a given query. Unlike the "NOT" clause in bool query, this still selects documents that contain undesirable terms, but reduces their overall score.

{
    "boosting" : {
        "positive" : {
            "term" : {
                "field1" : "value1"
            }
        },
        "negative" : {
            "term" : {
                "field2" : "value2"
            }
        },
        "negative_boost" : 0.2
    }
}

kimchy - is this a new query type? same level as "filtered"?

[kimchy]

Yea, its a new query type, same level as all of them, since its an AST, filtered, term, and the rest.
