Comment (by boonebgorges):

 > Only one small thought: If we skip the sentence match in ordering, then
 search results with negative terms will have different sorting. Consider
 first querying for foo bar and then altering that to filter out baz: foo
 bar -baz – now we present the results quite possibly in different order
 and also not in the best possible order of relevance – intuitively at the
 very least. But most likely the issue I described is so minor that it is
 not worth looking into.

 Hrm. Yeah, I agree it's slightly strange. But at the same time, I think it
 makes sense that the NOT operator would sorta override the rest of the
 query. It doesn't seem obvious to me what the expected behavior in this
 case *ought* to be. So I think that what's in the patch is probably as
 good as anything.
