Hi,

How can I boost on more than 1 field?  
With this query:

```auto
{
  "query": "someterm",
    "boosts": {
    "url_path_dir1": [
      {
        "type": "value",
        "value": "subsite",
        "operation": "multiply",
        "factor": 10
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

So I want to boost on url\_path\_dir\_1 and on another field (f.i. url\_path\_dir\_2)as well.  
How can I do that?

Best Regards,

Marten

Wouldn't you just add a new key to that object for url\_path\_dir\_2?

```auto
{
  "query": "someterm",
  "boosts": {
    "url_path_dir1": [
      {
        "type": "value",
        "value": "subsite",
        "operation": "multiply",
        "factor": 10
      }
    ],
    "url_path_dir2": [
      {
        "type": "value",
        "value": "subsite",
        "operation": "multiply",
        "factor": 10
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

Wow, how stupid from me.  
Totally fixated on an incorrect json 🙂

Thanks Jason
