=== Boosting Query
The `boosting` query 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.
Returns documents matching a `positive` query while reducing the
<<query-filter-context, relevance score>> of documents that also match a
`negative` query.
It accepts a `positive` query and a `negative` query.
Only documents that match the `positive` query will be included
in the results list, but documents that also match the `negative` query
will be downgraded by multiplying the original `_score` of the document
with the `negative_boost`.
You can use the `boosting` query to demote certain documents without
excluding them from the search results.

==== Top-level parameters for `boosting`
`positive` (Required)::
Query you wish to run. Any returned documents must match this query.
`negative` (Required)::
+
--
Query used to decrease the <<query-filter-context, relevance score>> of matching
documents.
If a returned document matches the `positive` query and this query, the
`boosting` query calculates the final <<query-filter-context, relevance score>>
for the document as follows:
. Take the original relevance score from the `positive` query.
. Multiply the score by the `negative_boost` value.
--
`negative_boost` (Required)::
Floating point number between `0` and `1.0` used to decrease the
<<query-filter-context, relevance scores>> of documents matching the `negative`
query.
