Hi, We have an index per category of item we are indexing. Our search then searches across all of the indexes. I would like to boost results from some indexes. Reading the docs this seems to be what I want: [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/search-request-index-boost.html](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/1.x/search-request-index-boost.html) However I cannot see how to do this with the java api. Is it possible to add index boost when using the QueryBuilder? Thanks in advance, David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
