Hi,

I am confused which option to use. Most relevant output to the user based on the search in each field with minimum match of 30%. I have 4 fields. The match score of each field does matters. It's like the most important field is field-1, on the second most important field is field-3, the third most important field is field-2, the last one is field-4. So do I frame this query into ES query?

Take a look at the [function score query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-function-score-query.html) perhaps.

Thank you. I will go through the function score query. One more thing, how do I search on different fields with different query string like { querystring1 --\> field1 & querystring2--\> field2 & querystring3--\>field3} and the \_score should be the total or avg score of these 3 \_scores? then for more precision & better performance want to use rescoring API
