query on "com" and "att" elasticsearch types.

I want to boost based on elasticsearch type. If the type is "com", I'd like  
a boost in the score of results from that type. Is it possible? If yes, how?

Query:  
{  
"query": {  
"bool": {  
"should": [  
{  
"match": {  
"verbose": qString  
}  
},  
{  
"match\_phrase\_prefix": {  
"verbose": {  
"query": qString  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
},  
"from": offset,  
"size": count,  
"filter": {  
"terms": {  
"project\_id": project\_ids  
}  
}  
};
