What I want to do is do a "fuzzy" (like this) query across multiple fields where matches in certain fields should result in a higher score than matches in other fields. I tried to set different "boost" values to these fields in the mappings and then run a fuzzy\_like\_this query over them, but it doesn't make any difference to the ranking score in the end. The results are in the exactly same order and with the exactly same score value. How should I do it? I hope I don't have to run a mega-nested query and boost the individual subqueries, as it is a faceted search and the indexed documents contain about 40 fields. There must be a more convenient way, but I can't seem to find it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Are you omitting norms by any chance on your fields? -- Ivan On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 12:32 PM, [georgi.mateev@jobvector.com](mailto:georgi.mateev@jobvector.com) wrote: > What I want to do is do a "fuzzy" (like this) query across multiple fields > where matches in certain fields should result in a higher score than > matches in other fields. > I tried to set different "boost" values to these fields in the mappings > and then run a fuzzy\_like\_this query over them, but it doesn't make any > difference to the ranking score in the end.

same Question here...it would be great if the fuzzy-like-this-query supports ^ operators... any workarounds out the? Am Samstag, 25.
