GET posts/\_search  
`{ "query": { "multi_match": { "query": "sport", "fields": ["name^1", "description^2", "keywords^3"] } } }`

I want to avoid this **^1** , **^2** , **^3** and set it globally. So that I can Search directly with predefined weightage of fields.

`{ "query": { "multi_match": { "query": "sport", "fields": ["name", "description", "keywords"] } } }`
