Hello @dadoonet ,

Thanks for your suggestions. I will go through it.

Another question is currently I am using boost parameter in dev tools of kibana.

But when we do integration of the elastic search Indexes to display it in UI. At that time how you will use boost there?

Thanks,  
Priyanka

I don't know. What kind of UI do you mean?

Hello @dadoonet ,

UI like google, where search box is present. User can search any term. And that results comes from indexes of ES. Currently I am using boost in dev tools of kibana. I have to use same when we integrate those indexes with UI.

Thanks,

And? What is the problem with that? What did you try so far?

Note that we are also providing site search and app search (last one available as a service or on premise) which will simplify the code you need to write (and your productivity) if you are after a typical search use case.
