Hello
I need to include a "should" clause to try to boost the relevance of a query by a numeric field. The greater the field value is, more relevant the document should be.
I'm not sure how to approach this. At first I took a look at the "rank\_feature" field type. Would that be a way to solve this? Anyway, not for my case, since I think this feature is not available in \< 7.0 clusters...
What about "script\_score"?
For now what I am trying to do is to "should range gt 0" and then sorting the documents by "\_score" and my numeric field...
Any tips here?
Thank you
