I think it is common practice across all search frameworks that item scores (or relevancy, …) and boosts can only be non-negative numbers. However, we never specify that in the Search API framework, even though some of the code (e.g., the Database backend) implicitly assumes it. We now even got a bug report ( 💬 Support: Indexable negative number Active ) where indexing failed because of this.
We should officially declare that scores and boosts are non-negative and deprecate setting negative score/boost values in preparation of failing directly on them (probably with a RuntimeException so it doesn’t need to be caught).
