+/**
+ * The BoostingQuery class can be used to effectively demote results that match a given query.
+ * Unlike the "NOT" clause, this still selects documents that contain undesirable terms,
+ * but reduces their overall score:
+ *
+ * Query balancedQuery = new BoostingQuery(positiveQuery, negativeQuery, 0.01f);
+ * In this scenario the positiveQuery contains the mandatory, desirable criteria which is used to
+ * select all matching documents, and the negativeQuery contains the undesirable elements which
+ * are simply used to lessen the scores. Documents that match the negativeQuery have their score
+ * multiplied by the supplied "boost" parameter, so this should be less than 1 to achieve a
+ * demoting effect
+ *
+ * This code was originally made available here: [WWW] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lucene-user&m=108058407130459&w=2
