Boosting query howto?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I tried the following query

{
"fields": [
"score",
"title",
"price"
],
"boosting": {
"positive": {
"term": {
"text": "einzelhandel"
}
},
"negative": {
"term": {
"price": "100"
}
},
"negative_boost": 0.0025,
"boost": 200
}
}

What I'm trying to do is to search for "einzelhandel" with a boost of 200
(e.g. "text:einzelhandel^200")
and have hits which also match a price of 100 get boosted with 400 (e.g.
"price:100^400") to have them before all other prices.
But this doen't work, any better ideas?

Also, the fields in the result are not limited to "score,title,price".
Is this not possible with boosting query?

Regards,
Bernd

Have you tried boosting boolean query clauses?

Hi Jörg,
thanks for the advise, it seams to be my solution.

Are there any API javadocs for ES?
It takes me 3 to 4 times longer writing something for ES than for Solr
because of searching through the sources
and no useful javadocs.

Now this is strange, I have same mapping/settings for both ES and Solr, but
ES ist boosting wrong!!!
If I add a boost to Solr all boosted hits are listed first.
If I add the same boost to ES only some of the boosted hits are listed
first.

Yes, missing Javadoc online is a pity. So I have prepared a javadoc for
Elasticsearch 1.3.1 here

http://xbib.org/elasticsearch/1.3.1/apidocs/
