Hi ,

I am trying to improve relevant search. I have list of fields (around 21) with priority order(total fields in document arnd 120). Those fields need to get more priority as compare to others during search.

I am using ^ operator for the same . higher priority field is getting more no as compare to lower priority after ^ operator. for example below is priority

1- last name (1st priority)  
2- first name (second priority)  
3- address (third)

Issue - I searched with exact match on first name and last name and I got 7 result. When using ^ operator query with same input, top 5 results come same, but last two is showing some other data because last name is appearing in address also(thats what I am guessing).

How can I make sure the entire content get search first against all priority fields and then rest of fields and get better relevant data?

Thanks,  
Gopal

          "multi_match": {
            "query": "\"Tom Hanks\"",
            "fields": [
              "Address^22",             
              "FirstName^26",             
              "LastName^34", 
              "*"
            ],
            "type": "cross_fields"
          }
        }
        
      ],
      "tie_breaker": 0.7
    }

```
