hi, Is there a search in elasticsearch that support the behavior that when a user enter a string to search, the ES recognize words as important words in search. for example: the user enter the string NEXUS COVER FOR EVERY DAY USE SILK SOFT BLUE, and I want that the brand(NEXUS) and color(BLUE) will be more dominant in search, and I have a list of all the colors and all the brand that exist. is it possible? and if yes, how do I implement that? thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Depending on your corpus, this should happen automatically. That's what TF/IDF is about. What you can do further is use NLP methods to tag those items in search and indexing. Look up POS tagging and entity extraction. -- Itamar Syn-Hershko [http://code972.com](http://code972.com) | @synhershko [https://twitter.com/synhershko](https://twitter.com/synhershko) Freelance Developer & Consultant Author of RavenDB in Action [http://manning.com/synhershko/](http://manning.com/synhershko/) On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 12:22 PM, Rotem Haber [haber.rotem@gmail.com](mailto:haber.rotem@gmail.com) wrote: > hi, > Is there a search in elasticsearch that support the behavior that when a > user enter a string to search, the ES recognize words as important words in > search. > for example: the user enter the string NEXUS COVER FOR EVERY DAY USE SILK > SOFT BLUE, and I want that the brand(NEXUS) and color(BLUE) will be more > dominant in search, and I have a list of all the colors and all the brand > that exist. > > is it possible? and if yes, how do I implement that? > > thank you! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/2948b28d-6c1e-490d-bdbb-80df5d7b0ebd%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/2948b28d-6c1e-490d-bdbb-80df5d7b0ebd%40googlegroups.com) > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/2948b28d-6c1e-490d-bdbb-80df5d7b0ebd%40googlegroups.com?utm\_medium=email&utm\_source=footer](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/2948b28d-6c1e-490d-bdbb-80df5d7b0ebd%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I agree with Itamar. It sounds like you do have a list of colors and brands (tagging), so you can add a boost value as a payload to the relevant terms. You can use these payloads with a function score script or a custom similarity. Not an easy solution. If you can maintain a mapping of values in Elasticsearch (via a plugin), you can bypass the payload and lookup the terms yourself. Once again, not easy. > **[Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale](https://www.elastic.co)** > > Power insights and outcomes with the Elasticsearch Platform and AI.
