for which concrete example?
QueryBuilders.customScoreQuery(QueryBuilders.matchAllQuery()).script("mybooster").lang("native").param("friends",
friends)
QueryBuilders.boostingQuery().positive(QueryBuilders.fieldQuery("someField",
12)).negative(QueryBuilders.termsQuery("names", "peter", "ron",
"don"));
while indexing you'll need to set the \_boost:
XContentBuilder b = JsonXContent.contentBuilder().startObject();
b.field("url", url);
b.field("\_boost", someCustomScore);
...
b.endObject();
addToYourBulkIndexing(b);

Intially I want to start with curl commands like below:
While idexing I set the boost here:
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/index1/talk -d '{
"\_boost":2,
"speaker" : "Michaël Chaize",
"title" : "Architecting user-experiences"
}'
While querying:
curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/index1/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/index1/_search?pretty=true) -d '{
"custom\_filters\_score" : {
"query" : {
"match\_all" : {}
},
"filter" : { "term":{"speaker":"Chaize"} },
"boost" : "3"
}
}'
then its giving error like this:
{
"error" : "SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query],
total failure; shardFailures {[6-5lEX1OTViQqCiC7uHEQA][index1][1]:
SearchParseException[[index1][1]: from[-1],size[-1]: Parse Failure [Failed

}{[kzX9mMdKTmaATpUKj9-jGA][index1][0]: RemoteTransportException[[U-Go Girl][inet[/192.168.1.16:9301]][search/phase/query]]; nested:

"status" : 500
}
Is it the correct way of doing?If not plz explain me clearly..

I didn't test it but if I read correctly this :

{
"custom\_filters\_score"
:
{
"query"
:
{
"match\_all"
:
{}
},
"filters"
:
[
{
"filter"
:
{
"range"
:
{
"age"
:
{
"from"
:
0
,
"to"
:
10
}
}
},
"boost"
:
"3"
},
{
"filter"
:
{
"range"
:
{
"age"
:
{
"from"
:
10
,
"to"
:
20
}
}
},
"boost"
:
"2"
}
]
}
}
You have to put filter in a filters array.
Not sure that's your concern here but hope this could help.

I think adding array filter doesnt matter.Its giving error even I query
like this:
curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/index1/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/index1/_search?pretty=true) -d '{
"custom\_filters\_score" : {
"query" : {
"match\_all" : {}
},
"filters" : [
{
"filter" : { "term" : {"speaker":"Chaize"} },
"boost" : "3"
},
{
"filter" : { "term" : {"title":"user"} },
"boost" : "2"
}
]
}
}'
