Hey there!
I have some trouble with building a query in elasticsearch..
My requirements are:
Documents have 4 fields:
Field\_A
Field\_B
Field\_C
Field\_D
I would like to build an absolut scoring, that DOESN'T take the
elasticsearch scoring into account.
If the search query matches one field, then it should always get the same
specific score, e.g.:
Match in Field\_A = 4.0
Match in Field\_B = 3.0
Match in Field\_C = 2.0
Match in Field\_D = 1.0
How would a search query be built to meet those requirements? I have tried
building it with function score but unfortunately I couldn't get very far
with the poor documentation for that query...
Many thanks in advance!
Best,
Bernhardt

You can wrap each individual match query in a constant score query and place them as clauses in a boolean query.
The guide has an example:
