Boosting specific documents in every search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
2

You could wrap your query in a function_score query. This query allows you to provide a filter. Any document that matches the filter (in addition to your original query) will get their score modified according to a boost_mode and a weight. By setting boost_mode to multiply and weight to 100, those documents matching the filter will get their score multiplied by 100. Like this:

GET _search
{
  "query": {
    "function_score": {
      "query": {
        "bool": {
          "must": [

                  }
                ]
              }

        }
      ],
      "boost_mode": "multiply"
    }
