I am confused about the way boosting works inside a dis_max query.
I have documents to search with two fields - "name" and "important".
Anything that matches within "important" must come before anything in
"name". The query I have is a dis_max of:
"match": { "name": { "query": "zzz", "fuzziness": "AUTO" }}
"match": { "important": { "query": "zzz", "fuzziness": "AUTO", "boost":
100 }}
The two test documents are: { "name": "zzz" } and { "important": "zzz" }.
They are scored the same on the above dis_max, and the explanation
doesn't mention the boost at all.
However, if I remove fuzziness from the "important" query:
"match": { "important": { "query": "zzz", "boost": 100 }}
Then the "important" document scores better, as it (in my intent) should.
How does boosting work inside a dis_max query?
How do I correctly boost the "important" field inside a dis_max?
Attached is the cURL reproduction of the problem.
