Hi,

I'm trying to boost some specific fields on a fuzzy like this query.

With the given document indexed :

POST fuzzy\_test/product  
{  
"name" : "maillot",  
"description" : "Arsenal away shirt"  
}

I can retrieve the result with the following request, :

GET fuzzy\_test/product/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"fuzzy\_like\_this": {  
"fields": ["name", "description"],  
"like\_text" : "maillo 1ere league"  
}  
}  
}

But, if I try to boost a field using the same syntax used by other queries,  
like multi match, it failed to find the document :

GET fuzzy\_test/product/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"fuzzy\_like\_this": {  
"fields": ["name^2", "description"],  
"like\_text" : "maillo 1ere league"  
}  
}  
}

Is there any way to achieve this ?  
Thanks.
