I'm trying to apply Highlight Query and want to give more score to the number of fields highlighted by the highlight query than the term frequency on a field.

For example:  
DOC 1:  
{  
"first\_name": "John"  
"last\_name": "Smith"  
"full\_name": "John Smith"  
}

```
DOC 2:    
{
"first_name": "John"
"last_name": "Stokes"      
"full_name": "John Smith John Smith"
    }

```

When I search using the full\_name field, I want DOC1 should be the first match. This is my query.  
{  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "John Smith",  
"fields": [  
"full\_name"  
],  
"use\_dis\_max": true,  
"tie\_breaker": 0,  
"default\_operator": "or",  
"auto\_generate\_phrase\_queries": false,  
"max\_determinized\_states": 10000,  
"enable\_position\_increments": true,  
"fuzziness": "AUTO",  
"fuzzy\_prefix\_length": 0,  
"fuzzy\_max\_expansions": 50,  
"phrase\_slop": 0,  
"escape": false,  
"split\_on\_whitespace": true,  
"boost": 1  
}  
},  
"rescore": {  
"window\_size": 50,  
"query": {  
"score\_mode": "multiply",  
"rescore\_query": {  
"function\_score": {  
"script\_score": {  
"script": {  
"source": "1"  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"rescore\_query\_weight": 10  
}  
},  
"highlight": {  
"pre\_tags": [  
"_"  
],  
"post\_tags": [  
"_"  
],  
"highlight\_query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "John Smith",  
"fields": [  
"full\_name"  
],  
"use\_dis\_max": true,  
"tie\_breaker": 0,  
"default\_operator": "or",  
"auto\_generate\_phrase\_queries": false,

"fuzzy\_prefix\_length": 0,  
"fuzzy\_max\_expansions": 50,  
"phrase\_slop": 0,  
"escape": false,  
"split\_on\_whitespace": true,  
"boost": 1  
}  
},  
"require\_field\_match": false,  
"fields": {  
"\*": {  
"fragment\_size": 300,  
"number\_of\_fragments": 1  
}  
}  
}  
}
