Indice boosting when searching on multiple indices

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

I have a query searching on multiple indices owned by the same index.
I would like to give boost factors to the indices by using indices_boost.

Boost is not considered. It works if I boost the index.

Thanks.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking. I suggest providing a
curl example of what you mean

Sorry for not being clear. In a few words, indices_boost on indices
belonging to the same index does not work.

It works only if you boost an index instead of an indice.

Clearer ?

Unfortunately, no :slight_smile: "indices" is the plural of "index", ie they are
the same thing. What "things" do you mean by index and indice?

Arghhh sorry ! By indice I meant type.

So indices_boost does not work on types, but only on indices. This one is
correct :slight_smile:

So question is : is it possible to boost a type when searching multi types ?

Yes: you can do, eg:

"query" : {
"bool" : {
"should" : [
{
"term" : {
"_type" : {
"boost" : 10,
"value" : "type_one"
}
}
},
{
"term" : {
"_type" : "type_two"
}
}
]
}
},
