Elastic Search Scoring - Query Terms Boost

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hey,

Sorry for the noob question. Realy appreciate if someone can help me
through this. I am using Elastic Search python. I am search a string like
"Arvind Kejriwal India Today Economic Times" and it gives me reasonable
results. I was hoping I could increase weight of the first words more in
the search query. How can I do that?

res = es.search(index="article-index", fields="url", body={"query":
{"query_string": {"query": keywordstr, "fields": ["text", "title", "tags",
"domain"]}}})

I am using the above command to search right now.

Hi Pratik,

in Lucene query syntax, which is what query_string uses, supports
boosting of terms with ^N notation (0), so

"Arvind^6 Kejriwal^6 India Today economic times"

will mark the two first terms as more important.

0 - Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax

Hope this helps,
Honza
