@Abderrahmane_Saadoun, please can you format your code, using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

Your question does not seem to include all the details to be able to answer it. For example,

- What is `SearchFields`?
- Which field(s) are you trying to target for an exact match?

Would you be able to provide a full, minimal, reproducible example that demonstrates the problem?

hello thanks again.

> Here is the searchFields :

```
{
 "formationContinues.titre^17",
 "formationContinues.organisme^16",
 "formationContinues.pays.nom^23",
}

```

> And i want to target all of the searchFields to show exact value first

> For example if i search for Salas, i get Sales,salé......... before the name Salas because the boost value is bigger than the others.
